Consider this a pass along.
This information is not in any way associated with Booker T Washington Middle School. This website was contacted. The organization seems real.

My name is Chelsea Gleason and I am the Recruitment Coordinator for
Youth Mic. Youth Mic is a radio program at WKCR 89.9 FM NY designed
for middle school and high school students. Every Monday from
9:00-9:30 p.m. the Youth Mic crew presents news, debate, poetry and
commentaries on topics that concern teens from their unique
perspectives. Teens prepare for this live show by meeting Mondays 6-9
pm and/or Thursdays 6-9 pm.
This summer, we would like to expand our program. Recruitment involves
having potential new members to the station, training them on
interviewing and editing techniques, and eventually involving them in
Youth Mic shows and projects. I would like to start workshops on
Wednesday June 24th, potentially from 5-7 pm at our station, although
this date is flexible and I would love to hear back from you about the
availability of the teens at your high school or youth program.
The studio is located on 114th Street and Broadway. To get to the
studio, the 1 train can be taken to 116th Street/Columbia University,
or the 2 and 3 express trains can be taken to 96th Street where a
transfer can be made to the 1 train, which will go to the 116th
stop.The studio is located on the East side of Broadway, at the corner
of 114th and Broadway. There will be an overhang above large glass
doors that reads "WKCR." To the right of the glass door, there will be
an LCD panel. To enter, press # then 02, and say you are with Youth
Mic.
Please let me know if you have teens interested in our program! We'd
love to work with you. I can also send along a flyer if you have
interested teens.
Best,
Chelsea
