   Have you put an ad in your local newsagent advertising for odd jobs: you must ad your age because sometimes unfortunatly people will need jobs that require older children. You could try dog walking? or if theres a small local buisness you could help out.

   If you can have access to a ride, newspaper delivery. Babysitting. Cleaning houses. Doing chores in your own home if your parents will pay. Car wash.

   Make signs to walk peoples dogs, if your parents will let you then watch the pets for people while they are on vacation. Just dont take on to many pets at once.

   I paid the neighbor $100 to watch my three dogs for 4 days

   maybe 10 dollars per day per dog

   5 dollars per day per dog to walk them

   good luck

   You could help elderly people in your neighborhood with their lawn care. Or, walk your neighbors dogs. Or collect aluminium cans and turn them in for money. Something really simple could be to get your parents to get you some kool-aid or popsicles and sell them.

   It depends on what kind of work you want to do but once you think of a list of jobs you can do like lawn work, dog walking, etc try putting up flyers in safe places (like your church or school, or in the clubhouse of your neighborhood) not just anywhere because you’ll have to put your phone number on them. If you get a few people to try then ask them to recommend you to their friends.

    Start with asking your parents if they have any projects that they need taken care of that they will pay you for….maybe they want something painted. People are always traveling, you can make money House sitting and pet sitting while people are away. You can also do the cleaning that people like to put off (ie. wash exterior windows). Babysitting, summer tutoring and mowing yards will make money too. You can try to add additional services to mowing a lawn by offering to pull weeds. You can try to take up a craft like crocheting or knitting that is cheap and easy to learn and sell your items. You can organize a garage sale for your families or even your communities and arrange to get a portion of the product. You can throw a fun daytime party and charge admission because it will the coolest party of the summer. Be creative and just keep at it..you’ll make money if you try hard enough. BTW, people love honest and hardworking young adults. Have fun but be mature.
