The Outspoken Action team is responsible for putting out a bi-monthly newspaper for teens, by teens.
Opportunities on this action team include writing articles, taking photos, helping with the design and layout, and editing and contributing graphics. The Outspoken action team meets the first and third Mondays of every month.

Outspoken is written and produced by Bellevue teens under the auspices of Youth Link, which is a project sponsored by the City of Bellevue and Bellevue Public Schools. It has a circulation of 3,500 copies bi-monthly on the Eastside.

Youth Link supports the efforts of young people by providing them with training, adult guidance, and equipment they need to create this publication. Young people write about a wide variety of youth topics and shared youth views about many subjects.

Outspoken is a unique publication. It gives young people the opportunity and the adult support and training they need to produce a monthly publication. With adult support, and under the direction of a youth editor, young people develop story ideas, write articles, take photographs, develop graphics and layout, and produce a publication with youth flair and insight. Work on this publication gives youth the opportunity to develop professional skills and provides them a valuable forum to explore issues that matter to teens.
