Advisor's Message
BYLC has developed an innovative curriculum that brings together young people from diverse backgrounds
and provides them leadership training, and opportunities to participate in community development. The young
generation of today will shape the future of Bangladesh tomorrow and this 'learning leadership by doing
leadership' model is an effective way to encourage program participants to think deeply about social problems
and take ownership of not just their own future but also of the future of the less-privileged people in society.
Contrary to popular belief, real leadership is not about position or authority – it is about creating
change in society by positively impacting the lives of others. BYLC's program is a brave attempt to raise
awareness and promote real leadership among Bangladeshi youth.
Dr. Gowher Rizvi
Honorable Advisor to the Prime Minister of Bangladesh
