Purpose: to develop a training program for high school students on hearing health. Method: 14 high school students from two public schools participated in the training program. The program was divided into three stages: classroom activities, online tutoring and practical activity. During the 1 st stage, participants attended a lecture given by tutors. During the 2 nd stage the participants had access to a web-based electronic tutor, the 'Cybertutor'. During the 3 rd stage practical activities were prepared, providing construction and multiplication of learning for the students. To evaluate the educational online material participants answered an evaluation questionnaire about 'Cybertutor' at the end of the training program. Results: 100% of the participants performed the three stages of the training program. Following the proposal of the Young Doctor Project, the students were entitled "Young Doctors" and multiplied the knowledge gained about hearing health, through a fair exhibition in their respective schools. Data from the evaluation questionnaire on the 'Cybertutor' indicate that most participants showed a positive opinion, showing a high level of approval for the 'Cybertutor'. Conclusion: this training program on hearing health promotes learning in this theme on the proposed population. Health education initiatives, such as the Young Doctor Project, besides providing the multiplication of knowledge, also made possible the integration of the students with the University and the University with the community, forming a network of collaborative learning.
