[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who finds HS founders of non-profits to be borderline insulting? I worked in the non-profit world, so did dh. These are serious places and it takes as much (if not more) work than a business to be a really successful one. I know bc we now own a successful business. It's not some vanity project to be started by a 17 year old. So annoying. Change my mind.[/quote]

100% agree with you
Some of these parent-engineered and manufactured non-profits get great results to this day, unfortunately. 
There simply isn’t the time, money, nor inclination to verify claims.  I am thinking of one (graduated already) person right now whose HS nonprofit has been scrubbed from their LinkedIn recently. [/quote]

They don't and it is a tired trope. A non-profit could be a great EC if it grew, scaled, and took on a life of its own in such a manner that it lived on well beyond the creator. But, the vast majority of them don't and AOs see them for what they are and discount them accordingly. Some kids still do them but it is a waste of time.

High school research is the current darling as is seen by the rise of pay to play research driven by college consultants. This one has also run its course and research is also no longer a highly valued EC in the vast majority of cases.[/quote]
