If you or someone you care about needs a summer job, you’ll want to brainstorm about places to approach for work. 

What kind of places might hire young people over the summer?

• Temp agencies are great places to look as many offices have employees out on vacation so they need to fill in for those weeks.
• Banks need help as people rotate through vacations.
• Consider tourist attractions – whether local or in a different location you think would be interesting.
• Hotels and resorts are hitting their busy season.
• Golf and Tennis Clubs
• Parks and Recreation Facilities
• Summer Camps
• Outdoor recreation facilities are great places to look. They are great if you have special skills such as life guard, entertainment, teaching, coaching, give lessons, but there are also opportunities to work on the grounds with general labor.
• Fast food restaurants
• Construction
• Health care . . . nursing homes and doctor’s offices. . .especially if you would eventually like to do something in those areas.

You can start your own business. Use your passion.

• Would you like to paint homes?
• Provide child care or elder care?
• Would you like to do landscaping?
• Be involved in a catering business?
• You can create your own website and cards for next to nothing.
• Consider doing an unpaid internship and combine with a part-time job.

 Spend a little time brainstorming and you will see a world of possibilities.
