Volunteer for Bangladesh
JAAGO Foundation's dynamic youth wing, mobilising young people across Bangladesh to lead change through volunteerism, civic action and community service.
Volunteer for Bangladesh, known as VBD, is JAAGO Foundation's dynamic, non-political youth wing. Established on 2 May 2011, VBD began with 40 passionate volunteers and has grown into one of Bangladesh's largest youth volunteer networks, with more than 60,000 registered volunteers.
After reaching all 64 districts, VBD has now expanded its presence to every upazila of Bangladesh — creating a truly nationwide platform for young people to serve, lead and take action within their own communities.
A Movement Powered by Young People
VBD gives young people a platform to turn concern into action. Through local volunteer teams, national campaigns and community-based initiatives, volunteers learn by doing — building leadership, teamwork, empathy and problem-solving skills while contributing to a more inclusive and resilient Bangladesh.
