Is not too early to start thinking about summer jobs.. We love these sites!

Coolworks.com: Features seasonal jobs in camps, resorts, ranches, and other adventurous places (Would you like to be a sled dog guide on the Jackson Hole Iditarod?) Be sure to check the minimum age and if housing or transportation are provided before you apply.

Servenet.org: This site lists volunteer positions across the U.S. Search jobs by age range--for example, students 13 and older can find opportunities in blood drive assistance, peer education, or tutoring.
