There is no way you can raise that much money in 2 months without getting a job. It boils down to you can't afford the trip. As you get older, you will find that this is a normal part of life.
I have to wonder about a such a big expensive school trip and only 2 month's notice. Is this some fancy private school? I think most parents would be hard pressed to fork over $2K for a trip plus all the other things, like passport, clothes, spending money, etc.

Well, there's this place called "La-La Land" where you could earn it, I heard about it one summer while I was at band camp. Maybe you've heard of it too? Seriously though, short of a sudden, generous gift from someone, you're probably not getting on that plane to England. Some working adults in this world have a problem earning $1000 in two months and they have jobs! Besides, at sixteen with two years of high school and four years of college in front of you, I KNOW you can find better things to do with a Grand than spend it on a trip to England at this stage in your life. You have your entire adulthood remaining for international travel. And, if you don't have a passport already, you can forget about getting one in time for this journey. The State Dept is so behind on those, it's taking at least 4-5 months to get one with an expedited request (which costs more, BTW).

Make up a flyer with ALL the tasks you are willing to do .
Like the yard work , walking dogs for people too busy working or whatever .
Put your phone number and rates on it .
Have your parents proof read it .
Hand it out to the neighbors so you do not have to go too far to work .
Good Luck !

there is no way enless your parents or relatives are rich like the kids that actually get to go on this trip or try talking to your school administrators and see if you could try to do an fund raiser thing like a car wash or door to door for your school

do you own stilettos and a leopard print skirt? You could walk the streets. ROFLâ¥
seriously though, without a job, erm... not likely.
maybe try your hand at a fundraiser, like a car wash or maybe babysit and mow lawns or something.

Wash dishes at an restaurant for $4.00 USD per hour (Take only cash at the end of the day) and you will have enough in just a few weeks.
