The fields of the projects include social welfare, rural development, community and organizational development, health care, blood donation, eye camp, environmental conservation, helping in administration, mobilizing resources and participating many other possible activities of similar nature in all over Bangladesh. BWCA organize short-term workcamps with duration of 10-15 days each year during October - March.
This short-term program makes the opportunity among the participants to explore a friendly atmosphere, navigation of international understanding and exchanging ideas & opinions through a teamwork effort. It also provides an opportunity for integration with a new society, culture, tradition and life style of Bangladeshi rural and urban people.

RTYP (Round The Year Program) ( a Medium term voluntary program for round the
year) BWCA has also been conducting “Round
The Year Program” (RTYP) in association and collaboration with the local
partner organizations in rural and urban area with a minimum assignment of 3
(three) months. Both type of Workcamps and RTYP are open to every
volunteer on the principle of trusteeship, which means every one to participate
in its activities according to their interest and desire for an adventure. This
way, every program is almost self-reliant and self-supporting. This has enabled
us to work on independent philosophy, plan of action within the laws of the
country.
