HEARMe partners Hussien Mohamed and Ericka Tucker met for the first time in early June 2009 with summer interns from Clarkston High School. Four high school students joined the HEARMe team from the International Rescue Committee's summer program for youth. The interns helped with the studio build, from June 10-14, 2009 and now form the core of Sagal Radio's Youth Radio Program. For the month of June they learned how to use field recorders, interview, and edit digital audio. They will now collaborate on HEARMe programming, bringing in the views of youth on topics of health in their community.
