does your school have like a summer program? That's what I did when I was your age, I talked to one of the counselors and they set up an interview and voila!

It depends on how under-aged you are. Some places around here hire summer help at 14 years old. You could always offer to do housework for friends and family. You don't want to go up to people you don't know, but it is generally safe to assume that your parents wouldn't direct you somewhere unsafe. \nYou could clean, rake leaves, shovel...\nYou could also get a paper route. They hire real young for that. Our paper boy is like 8.

The only place to be after working at your job is in Maine (Vacationland) .....relaxing in a cottage on a lake close to Bar Harbor and the ocean...the best of both worlds. Here are 2 great sites for camp and cottage rentals:\nhttp://www.cyberrentals.com/USA/Maine/r1125.htm\nhttp://www.vacationrentals.com/vacation-rentals/Maine.html\nand 1 for the Maine Office of Tourism Official Web Site:\nhttp://www.visitmaine.com/seasonal/summer/summer.php\nimagine listening to the sound of a loon http://www.birds.cornell.edu/programs/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Common_Loon.html#sound relaxing on a deck overlooking a beautiful peaceful lake.........the way life should be.

Unfortunately, there aren't many things available that's legal to hire anyone under 16, and even then it's restricted to menial labor jobs. You're best bet is to become self-employed. Decide what you want to do, use your pc to create a leaflet to distribute in the area you want to work in, post it at some approiate places, can also create some personal business cards and pass them out. If tutoring appeals to you, leave a business card at grade schools, child care facilities, ect. \n\nLawn service, $10-$30 for mowing, same for leaf raking and disposal more for a large area, less for small area\n\npet service (walking dogs, tending to pets when their owner's are away, ect), Should be minimum wage, or whatever you can negociate\n\nnewspaper delivery, (200 papers @ $.10 per = $20 per day\n\ntutoring younger students, baby-sitting, house-sitting (watering flowers, ect) = earn while you learn, you can do your home work and tutor at the same time\n\nwashing cars, snow removal if you live where it snows, cleaning snow off of one driveway can earn you $20-$30, \n\nThe problem employers have with hiring teenages is insurance,  liability laws and child labor laws. Apparently there's exceptions for migrant farm workers, or the laws are not enforced as stringently as they are for US citizens.

Now- I'm not sure whether this is true about the US or not (I live in Canada)- but sometimes the government (federal) sets up places usually in big cities (so... Denver would probably have one) for teens and young people to find jobs- either with them for the summer, or they know of places that are asking to hire. In Canada basically what happens is that we have this office called the Youth Employment Office- we look at resumes, cover letters.. we'll help you with interview skills, and we have a youth summer employment board of places that are looking for youths for the summer. We also know how to apply to the gov't so you can run your own summer business (and if the states are like Canada- they'll help you pay to start it). Look in your phone book- you may have one.

Most fast-food places hire 15 year olds. But it depends where you live. For example, I live in california and you can get a job at an amusement park and a Chuck E Cheese type place. Most clothing shops in malls will have you wait until you're a senior in high school to work there.

Summer camps are the best work for minors.  Otherwise you could try an ice cream shop or babysitting.

A job? best way, mow lawns , deliver papers , get a real job and help a farmer. They allways need help in the summer.

Where do you live and what is available?  Working summer jobs, seasonal ones like hotels, lifeguarding (are you certified?  It's easy and fast to learn), theme parks:  these are great first jobs because they give you some experience in the summer and they are used to working with younger workers.  Look online at the place's website.  Find a phone number, find the job opening part of the site if there is one.  Applications are easy, and when you come to the part that says 'former employers' you just leave that blank.  Asks where you go to school?  Homeschooled.  City and State.  Play soccer, baseball, good with money?  Add these things to the strengths portion, but don't go into great detail.  Employers who hire young workers like you are used to dealing with young workers.  So have your social security card handy as well.

Everyone knows that coastal Delaware and Maryland are known for their ski resorts.  I would go to Snow Hill, Maryland which is just west of Rehobeth Beach.  You could also go water skiing but no, that's another whole different thingie.

You could try the area laundromats ...they might hire under the table. I think you should be able to get a permit though and get a part time job at the zoo and take a bus to work.

Get out of the house over the summer. Get a part time job at an ice cream shop or restaurant so you can meet more people. Sure it can be hard sometimes, but you'll have money to go out and have fun.

Try your High school, or one around your area. Most businesses who are looking for teens give the applications to High schools hoping to recruit students that way. You could always try working at the mall or an amusement park, or maybe even a restaurant, those places are usually pretty flexible. However to be completely honest with you it is highly unlikely a business will hire you. Most places won't do it for insurance purposes. Enjoy the summer while you still can. In any case I hope you find a job if that is what you really want. Keep looking, keep asking, and someone will hire you.

babysitting, lawn mowing, camp counselor, if your city has a youth bureau or someplace that will hire teens that would be a good place to do it through

This won't be the answer you want but it's my best advice to you.  Wait until summer or until you're closer to 16.  The labor laws in most states are so restrictive on what hours you can work and what you're allowed to do that very few places will even look at your application.  Fast food isn't even the answer anymore.  My suggestion to earn money for now would be small jobs for neighbors (yard work, babysitting, etc.) or possibly tutoring if school is something you're good at.  Good luck!
