Dear Youth Editor: We will soon be launching Youth OUT LOUD!, an independent news service written exclusively by youth so they have a voice in their world. We are looking to add youth reporters and story tellers who wish to write for us. Please feel free to forward the e-mail below to the youth you know who may be interested in getting involved. I also have a pdf flyer I can send, so let me know if you'd like to have it.
Let me know if you have any questions, I look forward to working with you.
Thank you,
Sherry Sacino

Youth OUT LOUD!
Youth OUT LOUD! is an independent news service where youth from across the globe can have a powerful voice in the mainstream press. Through the Youth Empowerment Alliance (YEA), a worldwide network of youth-serving organizations, Youth OUT LOUD! obtains and distributes weekly youth-generated stories to international media outlets, with its network of youth story tellers in more than 150 countries. YMN invites youth to express viewpoints on current events, social issues, pop culture and other topics important to them. The collected responses are offered to mainstream media as stories for publication in magazines, newspapers, websites, etc.
Youth Engagement
Issues arise daily that affect youth; however, these voices are rarely heard. Youth from an affected region can provide a first-person story of events that have affected their lives, such as living with a parent with AIDS, the Asian tsunami, living in Iraq during the war or what happens at your school when a crisis occurs. Youth from around the world are invited to write about their lives: what their daily life is like, what they fear and their dreams of the future. Several of these stories can culminate in an in-depth, global perspective on a particular issue. The topics may be light, such as ?how we celebrate Christmas at my house? to more serious issues as ?the day I heard my parent was killed in the war? or ?living with cancer.? All of these stories from youth can be compiled into a collection of articles, surveys, opinion pieces, diary entries, location updates, youth profiles, or be subject to inclusion in larger works by journalists.
