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.
Lawn service, $10-$30 for mowing, same for leaf raking and disposal more for a large area, less for small area
pet service (walking dogs, tending to pets when their owner's are away, ect), Should be minimum wage, or whatever you can negociate
newspaper delivery, (200 papers @ $.10 per = $20 per day
tutoring 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
washing cars, snow removal if you live where it snows, cleaning snow off of one driveway can earn you $20-$30,
The 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.

The sad thing is, we teach our kids in this country NOT to work by the laws that were designed to protect children. I have a 15 year old son and this has been his question too. He went door to door and introduced himself giving a little flyer he made saying he was open for hire for odd jobs. He didn't like everything he got, like one lady had him do dishes and she was cheap. But other people were honorable and gave him jobs like raking leaves. Anything you do now looks better on a job application when you are 16 and can legally work. Find odd jobs to do from people around you, do each one well, even if it sucks. You're doing more for yourself than just earning a few bucks.
I also suggest a lemonade stand. Start up is cheap. Make sure everything is clean. Most people love to see young people with good work ethic and entrepreneurial drive.

You can do many odd jobs, ask your parents if they have friends with young children you can baby-sit, I was doing that at your age. It brings in some money and is not too difficult. You can also do other jobs like painting, cleaning the yard, or chores for either your parents or their friends to earn some extra $$.
Good luck!

babysitting, im sure thats probly already written
-when i was 13 i worked at an ice skating rink, my friends dad was the owner of a piece of it, so that may have helped, but if you go to your school and get a work permit u are legally allowed to work like 4 hours a day after school for like 2 days a week, many fast food type places will hire u if they think you are qualified

not many im afraid. However you can definetley work for charities or charity shops such as barnados. It is the perfect age that you can start working there. Unfortunatley most jobs are offered for people 16 and over. I know hunni, sorry!

Babysitting, mowing grass, cleaning up people's yards, your options are definitely limited being that you are so young, all you can really do is just find things that need to be done and see if people will pay you for it.
