Youth Engagement
for Sustainability (YES) Bangladesh is a nationwide youth-led, non-profit, and non-governmental organization officially initiated on 25 July 2018. It was established to create a platform for children; young people especially women who were formerly involved with the National Children’s Task Force (NCTF), Bangladesh, a prominent child-led organization.
The idea of YES Bangladesh took root during a three-day workshop held from May 3–5, 2018, at Rangamati Waterfront Resort in Gazipur, organized by Plan International Bangladesh. The event brought together 256 former NCTF members from across the country. These passionate young leaders recognized the need for a dedicated platform where they could continue their advocacy and development work beyond their roles in NCTF.
In this historic gathering, participants collectively envisioned a new organization that would amplify the voices of children, adolescents, and youth—particularly girls and young women. They agreed that YES Bangladesh would serve as a safe and inclusive space where young people could freely share their ideas, express their experiences, and advocate for social change.
