The Bangladesh Youth Leadership Centre started its 7th four-month leadership programme styled Building Bridges through Leadership Training in Chittagong on Thursday.
A total of 40 college, madrassah and university students were competitively selected from around 535 applications covering over 100 institutions for this international award-winning programme.
The programme was launched through a ceremony at the Peninsula hotel in Chittagong on Thursday.
US charge d'affaires Nicholas Dean presented a keynote paper at the ceremony.
He hoped that the leadership centre's unique curriculum would shape the participants' future in
a positive way and help channel their energy, patriotism and idealism towards inclusive Bangladesh.
BYLC founder Ejaj Ahmad and Young Power in Social Action chief executive Arifur Rahman also addressed the ceremony that was attended by students, their parents and leaders from the private, public and non-profit sectors.
The students will undergo the leadership training at Regional Public Administration Training Centre and will apply their learning in a real world setting by designing and implementing community service projects in an impoverished community in Chittagong.
The US Embassy in Dhaka will provide full scholarships to the participants.
