I would focus on reading key EA content (including cause-specific content, depending on what cause they choose).
E.g. if they’re longtermists, I’d say they should read Superintelligence and much of Bostrom’s other output, The Precipice, various articles and blog posts on AI timelines, and so on.
For more general EA concepts and ideas I’d refer them to Doing Good Better, the new Wiki, and/or a few online talks like Owen’s “Prospecting for Gold”.
Some of the other recommendations in this thread are not as directly related to EA. While I generally like them, they don’t seem as key to me as those that I’ve listed.
