High schoolers have a unique opportunity to get involved in effective altruism and make a significant impact on the world. It is a time when students are starting to think about their future goals and what kind of impact they want to make in the world. By learning about EA, they can begin to consider how their choices can best align with their values and help them achieve their goals. They can also start their own initiatives or organizations to address issues they see in their community. Learning about EA can help high schoolers develop critical thinking skills, as they are encouraged to evaluate evidence and data to determine the most effective ways to make a difference. 

High schoolers have several advantages over older people in doing good and making an impact. Here are a few key advantages: high schoolers have many more years ahead of them to make a difference. This means they have more time to learn about effective altruism principles, find the most effective ways to help others, and develop the skills necessary to make a significant impact. High schoolers are still in a learning environment, where they can learn new skills and gain knowledge about effective altruism. They can take courses in relevant subjects, attend workshops and conferences, and join clubs and organizations that promote effective altruism. High schoolers can get involved in organizations such as 80,000 Hours, Giving What We Can, and the Centre for Effective Altruism. These organizations provide resources and support to individuals interested in doing their best with their time and resources. The most common reason for young people to get involved in effective altruism is the desire to make a positive impact on the world.
