About us
Sylhet Jubo Academy (SJA) a not-for-profit and non-political development organisation, was emerged in August 1991 by a small band of philanthropists and social workers, led by Faisal Ahmed. This nomenclature signifies a working and learning centre for youths of Sylhet (one of the six divisions that locates north-east of Bangladeh) and in that way the organization made its appearance with youth training activities in order to develop young people´s skills and thereby flourishing their economic prospects.
