Me I license about a dozen or so 10 - 15 year old kids a year as new hams.

Outstanding. Where/how do you find all these kids?

What do you do to promote the hobby? Perhaps you have not made an effort
to promote the hobby to them, teach and mentor them.

That's true although over the years I have managed to bring a few kids
into the hobby when the opportunity presented itself. But I don't go
out looking for candidate kids. Not everyone is cut out to
recruit/teach kids anything on an ongoing basis and I'm one of those.

Do something make a contribution, make a difference.

Welp let's see here . . I recently led an effort which raised a bit
over $2,000 for the ARRL Spectrum Defense Fund part of which was my
check for a hundred bucks. Helping preserve the bands for the kids,
etc. Does that count?
