Running school programs are the best way. I ran a very amateur one at my kid's primary school. I had my 12" Dob there with a loan 8" Dob and a heap of GSO plossl eyepieces. We met at 7pm in suburban Melbourne on the school oval. We looked at Jupiter and the moon and the kids had a ball!
My son actually did a show and tell day today at school and took in a massive poster of giants, planets and black holes and went on an on all about them. He got so many questions he ran out of time.
Start at early school level and make it fun - better yet make a very simple astronomy program part of the school curriculum like they did in my son's prep class. Just like anything kids need to know what's out there to in order to start asking questions.
