New York City Bangladeshi Civil Service Society (NBCS)

Mission and History:

The New York City Bangladeshi Civil Service Society (NBCS) was established around 1990 to unite and advance Bangladeshi professionals in government roles across city, state, and federal levels. Its mission is to promote Bangladeshi heritage, culture, and community interests in the American landscape, creating a supportive network for civil servants. Over decades, NBCS has highlighted the growing role of Bangladeshis in public service, from founding members to today’s leaders, fostering pride and representation.

Services and Programs:

NBCS provides networking opportunities, professional development, and cultural events for members. Benefits include mentorship for aspiring civil servants, career guidance, and access to resources on government jobs. They organize annual picnics, like the one on August 16, 2025, at Glen Island Park, featuring food, games, and community bonding. Workshops on civic engagement and cultural preservation help members balance their dual identities.

Community Impact:

NBCS has boosted Bangladeshi visibility in NYC’s public sector, encouraging more community members to pursue civil service careers. This has led to better representation in agencies, influencing policies that affect immigrants. Their events strengthen family ties and cultural continuity, reducing isolation for diaspora families and inspiring the next generation.

How to Get Involved

Bangladeshis in or interested in civil service can join as members for benefits like networking and events—check the website for details. Attend the picnic or volunteer for committees to contribute. Contact the president or secretary to start; it’s non-political, so everyone is welcome to promote community growth.
