A National Platform to Connect, Empower, and Inspire
Bangladesh has a vibrant youth population, with nearly one-third of its people aged 15-35. This generation holds incredible potential to help the nation achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, many young people still lack access to leadership platforms, mentorship, and opportunities to connect their passion with a purpose.
To meet this need, the Odommo Bangladesh Foundation (OBF) is launching the Odommo Youth Summit 2025.
This national summit will bring together youth leaders, social entrepreneurs, policymakers, educators, and development partners. It will be a space to share ideas, build skills, and co-create solutions to the pressing challenges facing Bangladesh.
