YPSA envisions a society without poverty where everyone’s basic needs and rights are ensured.
YPSA exists to participate with the poor and vulnerable population with all commitment to bring about their own and society’s sustainable development.
The United Nations General Assembly declared 1981 to 1990 as the “Youth Decade” and designated 1985 as the “International Youth Year”. A massive campaign was carried out to involve youth in social development programs across the world, including Bangladesh.
Being inspired by spirit of the “International Youth Year: Participation, Development, Peace”, the Founder General Secretary and Chief Executive Md. Arifur Rahman encouraged and organized the local youth community with the aim of establishing a youth development organization in Sitakunda Upazila under Chattogram district of Bangladesh.
On May 20, 1985, the youth organization “Young Power” was established which later became the social development organization “Young Power in Social Action (YPSA)” and began its course of participation in the development process.
Currently, as an organization for sustainable development, YPSA is continuously moving forward with its vision, mission, and values as per its strategic plan.
