Yes there's a catch. You're too young. You have to be at least 16 (in some cases you can get a waiver if you're 15) before you can legally get a job. The airport is an entity of the federal government and I guarantee for your safety and theirs they will not employee you against the rules.
As far as being a volunteer there are very few people just hanging out in the airport that are not physically employed. I would wait until you're 15 and see if you can get a waiver to get a work permit then.
If you like flying and airplanes you should look around your neighborhood or city to see if there is a program called CAP (Civil Air Patrol) it's like the boy scouts except they let you learn to fly small airplanes. It's a great program and they work a lot with the US Air Force and get incentive rides in military cargo airplanes and fighter jets.

Go to a smaller airport, to the FBO and talk to them. Hang out and ask if you can get a job. Learn about airplanes, and then start talking to the airplane owners and asking if you can wash their airplanes. Figure out how much other folks are charging to wash airplanes.
