Summer Jobs for 16 yo
One of the perennial questions... my 16 yo (with pretty significant anxiety) would love a paid job this summer. They might be able to pass a lifeguard certification, but it's iffy. They are not really the greatest fit for childcare work. Great computer skills and willing to be outdoors or indoors. Other ideas on what types of jobs they might look for or services that help with placement? Thx!

Many summer camps, including Galileo, are hiring this moment for intern or junior counselor jobs. If she gets red cross certified in lifeguarding, there are MANY jobs available. She should be looking this moment, but places like Jamba Juice (ice cream places, chipotle, etc etc) will definitely hire 16 year olds.
