ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the BGreen’s global youth community organizers as community action agents and how their identities are negotiated when attaching themselves to academic–community institutions as independent and important stakeholders. The youth facilitators at first had to un-learn the top-down, didactic process of giving instructions even within youth groups, instead of embracing their role as guides in helping each other open up about their ideas and perspectives that helps them evolve through the stages of gaining critical consciousness. Building on the remarkable progress of the youth in using creative, collaborative approaches to addressing the educational limitations in both the US and Bangladesh, it is important to reiterate the important historical roots of , academia and social change in Bangladesh and US. The youth participant was involved in multiple multi-media BGreen projects that were produced in the US for a global, international and local audience.
