The Young South Asian Leaders Initiative (YSALI) is proud to see workshop alumni making impacts in their local communities. One example of local impact in the South Asian region, is the work of Taskin Habiba who started the Eco Steward initiative and recently held a webinar to explore the intersection of waste management, water security, and environmental governance in Bangladesh.

International Programs at UNO is entering an exciting new chapter — one defined by dedicated leadership, expanded offerings, and a renewed commitment to connecting our campus community with the world.

After attending regional leadership workshops, YSALI alumni are ready to take action and make impacts in their local communities. Months later, classrooms, communities, and crisis-affected areas across South Asia are benefiting from alumni who are resolved to make a difference. Each action plan tells a different story, but together they reflect a shared belief: change begins locally, but its impact can ripple far beyond.
