YFC Bangladesh (BYFC)

BYFC has six basic service programs which involve youth and provide community-based training programs in critical areas for youth:

• BYFC Assistantship. Provides service projects for local youth studying at colleges and universities to earn money to pay for their education.
  
• Leadership Training. Provides leadership training facilities and training in the areas of responsible leadership and economic development.
  
• Seminar and Conferences. Provides leading education and discussion on major social issues facing Bangladesh youth including anti-drugs and narcotics awareness, social mobilization, strategic management, and leadership training.
  
• Skill Development Training. Trains youth in practical skills so that they can become self-sufficient earners and entrepreneurs. BYFC has trained in agriculture, fishery, poultry, secretarial sciences, computer training, and other trades.
  
• Group Development. Provides training and development to youth leaders across Bangladesh by brining them together as a group and providing leadership training and mentoring to mobilise other youth towards realisation of their own development.
  
• Treatment and Rehabilitation Centre for Drug Addicts. Because of the high unemployment rates among youth, drug addiction is rampant. BYFC has built and runs a treatment and rehabilitation centre to rehabilitate addicted youth for a meaningful, normal life.
