I attended a TEDx event yesterday and a few parents had their middle-school aged kids there. It was an eye opener for a few of them.

My parents watched a lot of PBS or National Geographic type documentaries with me as a child. It gave me a view of the world outside of mine.

Internships. I did mine in my late college years but if you can start kids in high school, again it gives them a view of the future (possibly THEIR future) and great insight on paths to take.

Best of luck to you!
