My 11 year old averages about $9 a car washing cars. He can also mow lawns. If your neighborhood has leaves, raking is good money too. Don't set your price too low, your folks should be able to help you figure out how much to charge. Most people are suckers for kids who want to earn money so they will like to hire you. If you do good work, you might get a regular gig.
Other ideas, though not as lucrative, dog washing and baby sitting.
Good luck.

Joey: The website link below will take you to the Junior Achievements, a well respected organization that can help you realize and achieve your dreams. Another option is to go to the library and find one or all of the following book titles (or ask the Librarian for others):
Fast Cash for Kids … Bonnie & Noel Drew
Better than a Lemonade Stand … Daryl Bernstein
50 Money Making Ideas for Kids … Lauree & L Allen Burkett
Jobs for Kids … Carol Barkin & Elizabeth James
The Kids’ Business Book … Arlene Erlbach
Making Cents … Elizabeth Wilkinson
As you can see, you are not the only young adult looking for income. With so many books out there, sharpen your skills and maybe that teen whose got the street covered will be working for YOU soon.

Tutor younger kids, Babysit, get good grades, be super nice and helpful to your parents to get back your allowance, sell your junk, trade in boring video games for cash, split money with other teen, have a bake sale to fundraise your pockets. Lastly look for programs from where you live that give out stipends. I attended a program at the Walter Reed Army Institiute of Research in maryland during the summer for a week and got an easy $100.

Do little jobs around the house, ask to rake leaves, go to other streets and mow lawns, wash windows, anything that they will need to have done.

Detail cars---you can make a good living off washing, waxing, and vac cars. Do a GREAT job on someone's car in your neighborhood for free, and then have them pass the word along. Taking a before and after picture helps and you could show the pictures to potential clients.

Have him/her try to sell newspapaers on Sunday's. Cause whatever they sell, they end up keeping. Working as a bagger at a grocery mini market is another suggestion.

Legal ways for children to make money are *few*, but if you feel like quite an entrepeneur, you can create a delivery service. Offer to buy groceries for the elderly for tips.
Face it, you have limited options.

Raking leaves.
Babysit.
Sell something you're tired of by using classified ads.
Take care of pets for neighbors who are traveling.
