I would check the classifieds, especially if there is a college with a paper of their own nearby.  Also, Monster.com and Fastweb.com are very helpful for finding jobs for youth.  Other places to look are retail stores and restaurants (before 18 you can only be a greeter at the front).  I'm not sure of jobs specific to your area, but these are pretty good places to check...good luck!

You can help out your neighbors.  And maybe make a few bucks at the same time.  Mow the lawn, pull weeds, walk someone's dog, clean up the dog poop in back yard, babysit, wash cars....  The last two years I wish I could find a teenager to help me out when I needed it.  And I would've gladly paid for the help.  \n\nMake some sort of flyer to pass out to the neighbors to "advertise".

There are laws for teens working anywhere. You have to find a job where the hours are according to law. Some businesses will work with you,. try waitress, or waiter, dog or horse track, cleaning yards or houses... good luck!

Your best bet is to call around because usually most places hire at age 16, but some will hire you at 15. Try grocery stores, restaurants, retail stores, fast food restaurants. If these don't interest you, you could mow lawns over the summer for people in your neighborhood or you could babysit.

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

There probably isn't an easy way, but there are lots of opportunities.  Fast food restaurants hire lots of teens; many grocery stores use teens for baggers.  When I was 16, I sold photographs to the newspapers.  Any kind of work experience will make you feel better about yourself and will enhance your qualifications for future employment.

Sell some things you no longer need. Ebay is great but using the local paper is fine too. Got a lot of stuff and/or friends with stuff hold a garage sale. Another thing you might want to consider is a job with a temp agency. Around where I live you can make very good money with a temporary job assignment and the agency will find you the job.

When i was 13 i was babysitting and i got 45.00 a week. Ask a friend about doing that, or cleaning someones house.

Contact your local park and rec district - they often have a teen job line or listings. Also, sometimes the local adult schools and colleges have listings for job that teens can do.\n\nGood luck.

try a music store or video store-  at 15 its hard to find a fun job but there is always a fast food place or coffee type shop.  You could always try to get into a grocery store and help stock shelves or hey... the coolest job I had at that age was working in the theatres at night and on weekends.  That was alright and I got free passes to any new movies that came out.

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.
