Are you in public school? Have you looked into the public schools' internship programs?
If that won't work for you, I think that your best bet is to try to sell your services in things like lawn care, baby-sitting, running errands, etc.

Do your parents own a business or know someone that own a small business? They could be willing to hire you and pay you under the table.
You could try a paper route, or try selling catalogue stuff like Avon/regal.
Babysitting is an option. I've been there, it's actually a LOT of work for bad pay.
If you're looking for something to and don't need money that much, volunteer or go to a camp to be a Leader/Counsellor in training. Looks great on a resume later on and helps in so many ways, not to mention that Leader/Counsellor in training usually get hired on the next year
Good Luck!

Milwaukee OR? I would make up some flyers and offer a lawn mowing service. Or, you could scoop up their dog poop, take their dogs for walks, clean houses. At most grocery stores you have to be at least 16 to work. Good luck with your job search.

Why not try bussing at a local restaraunt. Most places fringe on employing youths under the age of 14 because of insurance purposes..
Walk dogs, child watch, house cleaning/errands for elderly folks.

Technically, I don't think 13 year olds can work in Wisconsin. Maybe paper route, like mentioned before.

Ha! I'm 16 in NY and can't find a job either. Sucks, doesn't it? Mostly, use people you know and ask around. Offer to babysit, because it pays decent and it's halfway enjoyable.

No one is going to hire a 13 year old. See if you can't babysit for someone.

Oh honey...
Your too young. If someone were to hire you, you would hardly get any hours cause thats child labor. You should work for like a family member to pay you cash... a retail store wont hire you. I work in a small store and we wont hire any one under 20.
