EMK Center

The mission of the Edward M. Kennedy Center for Public Service and the Arts ("the EMK Center") is to engage, inspire, connect, and empower citizens of all ages to better themselves, their communities, and our world. Created in 2012 through a partnership between the Liberation War Museum and the American Center of U.S. Embassy Dhaka, the EMK Center is a non-partisan platform committed to open dialogue, informed action, individual and artistic expression, and personal and professional development. We define public service as service on behalf of the people -- by anyone, anywhere, anytime. The EMK Center recognizes the power of one person to make change. We respect the ability of young people to see what is possible, what should be, and their potential to make it so. We welcome you.
