IMO the best thing you can do is reaching out to high school teachers teaching programming.

A coworker had an interested high school student come in for the day/week a few times, and shadow them.

For many kids whose parents have never heard of white collar work, it can be life changing to have a good impression.

High school teachers teaching programming? Is that even a thing everywhere? Growing up where I did, it’s a laughable idea.
