Hi Everyone!
I'm currently a high school student in the United States. I've been casually following and supporting EA for about 1.5 years now, doing what I can with donating any extra money to effective causes. However, I have recently been getting a lot more interested in EA and am looking to get more involved. Since most EA opportunities are centered more towards university students and older I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for what I could do at this point of my life (Apart from dedicating my career of course).
Thanks in advance!
I second Nathan's answer, but besides that here are a few programs specifically for HS students you might be interested in.
I'd also recommend applying to those university programs! When I was talking with the organizers of those programs at EAG, n=3 seemed to believe it'd be perfectly appropriate for me to apply. I suspect other programs would also (major caveat: may only apply to non-residential programs for <18 for legal reasons).
(also, Yarrow B's answer is a joke, but, anecdotally, a major failure mode of young EAs are becoming too dedicated and sacrificing all their other interests and such for it. )
