Summer job for 15 year old (Raleigh: amusement park, employment, camp)

[yogagirl24]

Does anyone happen to know which business may hire 15 year olds? The only one I know for sure that does is Chick fil A.

My 15 year old daughter got a summer job at the local amusement park,she works at the cotton candy and popcorn stand.

My 15 year old daughter got a job as a camp counselor and our 15 year old neighbor got one at the local pool. She and her friends have been looking for jobs and all of the mall jobs started at 16. Raleigh Parks and Rec has a special summer employment for teens.

None of them had any luck with retail and food service!

Yes!! Do this! I started as a junior camp councilor of a sports camp when i was 13. The manager couldn't pay me because of my age but fed me free meals. It not only kept me out of trouble but taught me responsibility and work ethic at an early age. When i turned 16 i became a full fledged councilor at the same camp and began getting paid. It was once of the most rewarding jobs i have ever had. It will also keep you in shape chasing kids around all day and will look excellent on your resume in the future.

Stay away from mall jobs! They are boring and don't pay very well. Get outdoors. I also life guarded which you can start at 16 i think but you can start your training early so you will finish right when you turn 16.

Good Luck!!

Our pool hires 15 year old lifeguards, but we already hired our lifeguard staff back in March.
