Restless Development USA Board of Directors Recruitment
What is Restless Development?
Restless Development 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 organizations.
In 2025, Restless Development will commemorate 40 years of youth-led development in 26 countries and a growing Youth Collective with members in 185 countries.
Check out our 2030 Global Strategy for more information.
