About us
is a global non profit agency. We support the collective power of young leaders to create a better world. Our young leaders lead change on some of the world’s biggest challenges - from gender inequality, youth unemployment to climate justice. All our work is co-led by young people in their local communities - and brought together by the Youth Collective, a growing global community for youth-led organisations. Ultimately we know that the best people to support young leaders are other young leaders.
Restless Development has close to 40 years of experience of youth-led development. Restless Development is repeatedly cited as the model for best practice in youth-led development by the World Bank, UNICEF, USAID, and others. We are independently registered and governed in nine countries (India, Nepal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, UK, USA, Zambia and Zimbabwe) and a growing Youth Collective with members in 185 countries. We are committed to creating an agency that walks the talk on power shifting, using the power shifting checklist, both internally and externally. Have a look at our .
