I don't have a website, but I do have a suggestion. Check with your local hospital. They may have some part time work available assisting patients, information desks, gift shops or possibly cafeteria related work. If you get in the door as a part-time / student level, then you can pave your way to other potential positions with them.
May be worth a shot, Good Luck! :-)

I'd advise against relying on web sites to try to find your next job. At 16 your don't have a whole lot of specialized training or experience yet, and employers tend only to advertise openings for more "expert" positions online.
There are two better approaches: first, use your personal network. Talk to your friends, family members, classmates, neighbors, etc.. Let them know what some of your talents are, e.g. really good computer skills, good at talking with people, very organized, etc.. Ask them if they're aware of any places that might be interested in someone with your talents.
The second approach is the "informational interview." Pick a company where you'd be interested in working. Interested in the medical field? Arrange a meeting with the HR person at the local hospital or doctor's office. It's a chance to introduce yourself and to learn if there are any potential roles for someone your age with your abilities.

Someone needs a reality check...McDonalds isn't a bad place to work.. I worked there in high school/college and got money for college through a scholarship ($5,000)... I also met my now husband there. Besides, there's a McDonalds everywhere so its easy to transfer if you move. If are looking try snagajob/careerbuilders/monster... good luck
