My son's foreign language club is planning a spring trip to Europe, and my son would really like to go. However, we don't have the money to send him. He is 13 years old, which I don't believe is old enough to hold a regular job (like at the grocery store) in our state (NE). What are some other ways that he could raise enough money? (He needs over $2500)

Perfect timing. He can rake leaves this fall, and shovel snow this winter. He can also put up flyers offering to help people put up and take down their Christmas decorations.

If the club is doing a trip that is this expensive, are THEY planning anything to help the students raise money?
mow lawns
babysit
do odd jobs around the neighborhood
That's a big chunk of change. Unless the club is planning fundraisers to help the kids, I don't know how to tell you to pull it off since he's not old enough for a regular job.

1. Mowing Lawns
2. Starting a small business
3. Asking some relatives to pitch in.
4. Do household chores
5. Help other people for money
6. Plant flowers
7. If he has a special talent like playing an instrument.....well
8. He could hold a small " fair" or entertainment center for little kids.
9. Bake sale
10. Hold a car wash
Thos are some ideas

I made over 1700 in sixmonths doing usability work, there are companies out there that pay people to, i will say "be a lab rat" for different products or do real simple tasks or testing...for example, I did video game testing, a game developer will have this company conduct a test(play the game) and give results each time i did it, i got payed 100-200 dollars for about 3 hours maximum of time...he is 13 y.o? thats about the age sometimes they want...i am 18 so i can get the jobs more easily but maybe youcould do them and help out?!
search for "Usability jobs" in your area...

You can have him look for sponsors in the community. Our daughter went to a medical forum this summer and she hit up many clubs and businesses that have been known to donate money (Lions, Rotary, etc). Ask some of the other students if they have had to raise money. Have him do odd jobs in your neighborhood...it is lawn and raking season.

How 'bout mowing lawns, shovel driveways and sidewalks, walk dogs for people, rake leaves. IF he is mature enough, babysitting is a good way.

if you belong to a church see if they would like to sponsor him. i am sure the school will do something to help raise funds. car washes and what not. have him go door ro door and offe to do odd jobs. and tell all your family they might want ot help him raise money
