November 4th Election Day Victory

President of FBW, Eng. Abdus Sobhan, and Director of Youth Development, Farhan Rahman, organized an eventful watch party for the mayoral race in Shanai, Jackson Heights. Representing the “Bangladeshis for Zohran” and “South Asians for Zohran” committees, the event culminated months of outreach and canvassing in a definitive victory.

We are immensely thankful for the dedication these community leaders showed in helping to elect a mayor who will represent all of us in City Hall. We also extend huge thanks to all the media outlets and journalists that captured the energy and excitement when we heard that was now the first-ever Muslim socialist mayor elected to the wealthiest and most diverse city in the world!

New York is Not for Sale, Zohran’s Final Rally - 10/26/25

With the mayor’s race slowly reaching its end, 13,000 people gathered at Forest Hills Stadium to show their love and support for Zohran. FBW: Youth Development members Nabila and Farhan had the opportunity to join for the night: Nabila as an official press member for the rally, and Farhan as an advocate and supporter for both her and the campeign. The night was filled with everyone’s voices, and remarkable words from AOC, Bernie Sanders, Governor Kathy Hochul, Brad Lander, Zohran, and many other New Yorkers.

It’s been over a month since September 17th, but the excitement remains! The FBW: Youth Development team wants to dedicate this post to the incredible generosity of Flushing Bank.

We are thrilled to announce that we received a $3,000 grant that will directly fuel youth-led initiatives and projects within our organization.

Flushing Bank has championed us from the start. They supported our opening ceremony and even hosted a valuable Financial Literacy Workshop. This investment is a true testament to our strong partnership.

We were also honored to play a role in the ribbon-cutting ceremony that introduced Flushing Bank to the diverse community of Jackson Heights. This momentous event was celebrated alongside our District 25 City Council Member

Thank you, Flushing Bank, for your deep commitment to both our youth and our community!

Last night at The People’s Forum, we invited students from across NYC to come together, collectivize, and reflect on their role in shifting the material conditions of everyday New Yorkers—the city’s highschool students.

Huge shoutout to Nabila for capturing the night and to the .youthdev team for their incredible support.

FBW: Youth Development Collaborates with Flushing Bank for Financial Literacy Workshop – 9/22/25

Yesterday, we hosted a successful workshop on financial literacy for high school students of various ages. Our presenters educated students on how the economy works, emphasizing the role of banks as the backbone of our modern economy. Flushing Bank representatives, Sylvia and Ahmad, generously shared their knowledge, experience, and time with today’s changemakers.

A special thank you to our President and Founder, MD Abdus Sobhan, for his support of Youth Development events, and to the FBW: Youth Development Team for their dedication to planning and hosting this event.

Finally, congratulations to Anjali, who won our raffle! We believe that participation in our events, including icebreakers, should be incentivized to encourage more engagement. We look forward to highlighting more curious students in the future.

We're back and ready to continue our weekly post initiative!

This week, we're excited to feature a post from Abrar Khondaker, a dedicated senior at Jamaica Gateway high school. He shows us that video games are not a new phenomenon, but rather a dynamic art form that has evolved and changed dramatically over the years, mirroring the technological advancements of our world.

Thank you, , for sharing such an informative and thought-provoking message. By looking at the past of gaming, he encourages us to consider its future. This future isn't just about entertainment, but about becoming the change maker who propels the next evolution in video games. We look forward to seeing what other changemakers choose to share next as they explore topics they're passionate about.
