Do these jobs really take 16-year-olds?
Each listing here states an age range that includes 16 on the organization's own page. Many also limit where you live or which school you attend, so read the listing before you apply.
Are there limits on how much a 16-year-old can work?
Federal law sets no hour limits for 16- and 17-year-olds, but they can't do jobs the Department of Labor lists as hazardous. Many states add their own rules or require a work permit.
