30% of the total population is the youth people (15-35 age) in Bangladesh. “Youth” the word represents a person who didn’t reach adulthood yet and it refers to the period before reaching adulthood. It’s a time when a person sets his/her time goals and learns life lessons so that he/she could become an independent person in the future! There are 5 important things in which youth people can involve themselves in order to learn and grow their skills:

Social work is an important thing to do for the youth. It helps them for career development and gives an opportunity to help society. Social work can be started from your home! You can simply feed the street dogs around in your residence. There are large numbers of NGOs and non-profit organizations in Bangladesh where youth people can join in order to serve society. For example Jagoo Foundation, Bidyanado: 1 taka meal. You can simply participate in their events to develop your people skills and serve society.
2.Technical skill Development:
