    The Youth Link Board consists of 12 youth and six adults from the Bellevue community who advise the city manager regarding youth issues. They advocate for changes in systems that directly affect youth. 

    Youth Link has been providing innovative programming for middle and high school students since the early 1990s, with a mission to engage Bellevue's youth in civic leadership opportunities and community service and provide a platform for youth voice as counsel for the city manager. The Youth Link Board promotes diversity, unity and equity for high school youth in Bellevue. Board work includes addressing youth mental health, transitional support, youth financial education and employment equity, environmental sustainability, as well as issues related to diversity, equity and inclusion.

    Meetings

    The board meets the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month, 6-8 p.m., at City Hall. View the Youth Link Board schedule for meeting dates, times and locations.
