There are many education programs in place that also need some funding, targeted at less affluent kids. In NYC alone there is MicroInterns (matching middle schoolers to tech startups) by George Haines:

They could use a SquareSpace site...
Also, NY Tech Meetup is doing a Startup Summer program where we get high school students into internships at tech startups: http://nytm.org/2011/05/04/nytm-to-host-2nd-annual-startup-summer-2/ http://nytm.org/2011/05/04/nytm-to-host-2nd-annual-startup-s...
Programs like these that are supplemental to the general education kids will be getting in middle, high-school, and college are necessary, but they would never be able to replicate everything that a young person needs to learn in order to survive.
There are many ways to make education better, lets try to have systems that support each other.
Jason, want to donate to the MicroIntern program? :-)
