What can a 14 year old do to get a job for the school year?

You have to get a workers permit from your school

they can deny giving you one depending on grades. and some states dont give workers permits and don't allow minors to have jobs. but after you get a permit[or ask if minors are allowed to work in your state] look around for jobs that will take you. you cant have college/high school diploma jobs unless you acctually have a diploma for them. so, restaurants, movie theaters, assistants, volunteers, and store workers are probably what you'll end up with.

community places such as, day cares, skating rinks, ice rinks, etc normally allow minors to work.
