A youth-led development is an initiative that is largely devised and implemented by young people.[1]

Definition of youth

Most organizations use the UN’s definition of youth which is a person between the ages of 15 to 24,[2] but some organizations expand that definition to 30.

Youth-led Organization

A youth-led organization focuses on youth-led development, promotes youth participation and often has a permanent staff largely made up of young people.

Examples of youth-led development

Some examples of organizations that focus on youth-led development are: UYDO (United Youth Development Organization), U8 Global Student Partnership for Development, Engineers Without Borders, Peace Child International and Restless Development.
