Where Can I Find Kid's Summer Jobs?

• Answer:

  Summer jobs for kids are a way of not only teaching kids the value of work and how to manage money but are also a means for paying for a car or saving for another item of value. Some jobs, such as working at a local farm or nonprofit organization, will also be of interest to colleges when applying there. Classifieds/Online Resources Kids can browse the classified sections of their local newspapers for jobs such as babysitting, dog walking, summer camp counselors and summer camp helpers. There are a plethora of online resources for teens looking for work such as Snag A Job, which provides information on popular teen jobs as well as employers who are currently seeking teen employment. Got A Job is another resource for teens that provides information on seasonal and part time jobs and job tips. Hire Teen is another online job resource. Malls Malls are often go-to spots for kids' jobs, whether it be working in a clothing store, book store, record store, arcade, the food court or mall restaurant(s). If the mall where you would like to seek employment has a website, it may have a "jobs" or "careers" section that shows out who is hiring. Malls usually hire employees during the holiday season for stores and services, as well as needing Santa's elves for pictures with mall Santas. School Counselors School counselors can provide resources for job leads, according to Teens Health. Counselors may have the names and numbers of temporary employment agencies seeking kids for internships and jobs, as well as other area employers that have sent their contact information to the school. Counselors may also provide information on tutoring jobs, volunteer jobs and nonprofit organizations looking for tween and teen help. They also help find a job best suited to your interests or jobs that will look good on college applications. Garden Centers Kids who enjoy working outdoors with plants might look to local garden centers for jobs. In addition to offering jobs at the center itself, the staff might be able to provide information on other outdoor jobs in the area, such as farms seeking summer help or horticulture centers looking for workers. Garden centers may also provide contact information for local parks hiring summer workers. Such jobs can include ground maintenance, planting of flowers, weeding, picking up trash or taking care of animals.
