I thought this post was a very thoughtful reflection of SHIC and what went wrong in approaching highschoolers for EA outreach, which is made all the more interesting given that as of 2021 high school outreach is now a pretty sizable effort of EA movement building. SHIC in many ways was too ahead of its time. I hope that the lessons learned from SHIC have made current high school outreach attempts more impactful in their execution.
Disclaimer: I am on the board of Rethink Charity which SHIC was a part of at the time of this post, but I am writing this review in a personal capacity as a personal reflection. I did not share this review with anyone at Rethink Charity, so it’s quite possible other people might disagree and I may be wrong here, so do not take this as an official Rethink Charity position.
