At the heart of everything we do is Youth Power!

We are a charity that supports the collective power of young leaders to create a better world.

More than ever the world needs young people’s power and leadership to solve its greatest challenges. 

Every year we train, mentor, nurture and connect thousands of young people to use their youth power and lead change.

We were formed in 1985 and have been working with young people ever since.

We are a global team of more than 200 people based in 13 countries, including the UK, bound together by our vision for youth power. 

Our four main impact areas are:

• Education and Livelihoods - young people should have knowledge and skills to thrive

• Gender and Sexual Rights - supporting young people to uphold sexual and reproductive rights and gender equality

• Voice and Democracy - we support young people to lead as active citizens to create change in their communities

• Climate Justice - supporting young people's response to climate change.

We are here to help young people throughout the world find their voice. Meet some of our young people who Restless Development have supported.
