About Restless Development

Restless Development is a global non profit agency. We support the collective power of young leaders to create a better world.

We run youth-led programmes to tackle the issues that young people care about the most as well as running a growing global Youth Collective.

We know young people have the power to solve the challenges we face in our world, but they are  being ignored and overlooked. We are the agency that works with young people so they can lead in  solving those challenges. Whether that means supporting communities to end child marriage or  prevent HIV, we work with young people to change their lives and the lives of people in their  communities. Our programmes are genuinely life-changing, but can’t do any of this without talented, creative individuals at every level of our organisation.
