about the organizer

Bangladesh Youth Leadership Center (BYLC), the country's first leadership institute, was founded with the vision of creating a more inclusive, tolerant and just society by training the next generation of home-grown leaders. Conceptualized at Harvard University in 2008, BYLC was registered as a non-profit with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms in Bangladesh on January 5, 2009.
The signature program of BYLC is the four-month long leadership course, Building Bridges through Leadership Training (BBLT). This program, designed for students aged between 17 and 22, is offered in Chittagong and Dhaka.
Besides the BBLT program, BYLC also organizes month-long leadership programs for secondary school students, Building Bridges through Leadership Training Junior (BBLT-J), short courses on leadership for third and final year university students, and the Youth Leadership Summit which brings together youth and experienced professionals for inter-generational knowledge sharing and networking.
