Great jobs and volunteer opportunities are not so easy to come by for teens, but we are here to help! We have done the legwork for you and found a few opportunities for your teens. For kids who are perhaps too old for summer camp but old enough to be productive citizens over the course of a three-month break, summer is an opportune time for them to experience the rite of passage that is a summer job. Not sure what your teen can tackle?
Suggestions for teens:
Camp Counselor: If your teen enjoys the camp experience, likes to work as part of a team and be a leader and role model to younger children, working as a camp counselor might be right up their alley. {And it’s a lot of fun, too!}
Babysitter: Mature, responsible, patient teens are perfect candidates for babysitting. Not just for date nights, babysitting gigs during the summer are a nice source of income and a great help to working parents.
Tutor: If your teen enjoys working with kids and excels in a particular school subject matter, tutoring over the summer is a great fit.
Entrepreneur: Have your teen start their own summer business, such as washing friends’ and neighbors’ cars, helping with errands or gardening, etc. Think “Shark Tank” for kids.
Lifeguard: This requires some planning ahead, but if your teen is an excellent swimmer, this may be a fun, challenging and rewarding summer job. There are minimum age and certification requirements.
Intern: If your teen is interested in exploring a particular career, now’s the time to research local internship opportunities. Ask friends and family if they can connect your child with an employer to get the ball rolling.
Grocery Store Positions: This can be a great introduction to the world of employment. For many teens, working in a grocery store provides the start to a career in management. For others, grocery jobs help develop a responsible work ethic that will follow them throughout their lives.
Community Service: Summer is a great time for your teen to get ahead on their community service hours. Teens can volunteer with various organizations or even use the summer to plan and start an endeavor of their own.
Be a Global Volunteer Abroad: These are short-term volunteering vacations where teens can not only engage in meaningful service but can get immersed in the culture and explore the country through weekend adventures.
Volunteer at a Pet Shelter: You can help care for the animals, participate in fundraisers to help the shelter, and earn your service hours. There are also opportunities to adopt or foster animals.
