[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life guard at a pool. All he has to do is get certified through DPR or a county agency. Swimming is great exercise but you might want to check whether his injuries disqualify him. Maybe he can work the front desk for check-in instead.

Babysitting. He can take a short course with your DPR or Red Cross.

Volunteering: at a camp, museum, park, summer school as a tutor, a church or religious institution, Humane Society, Candy Striper/hospital or any other NGO related to his future career ambitions

You can't get a lifeguarding certificate until your 15th birthday.

What does he like, besides sports?  Here are some things that my son or his friends have liked or benefited from that work with that age group:

Tech camps at TIC
Summer programs at AU or UMD
Filmmaking at Imagination Stage
Summer theater programs (Theatre Lab)
Summer School  (if you're in MCPS, maybe he can take Foundations of Technology, which opens up some more electives)
Community Service camp at the JCC (I think both DC and MD have this)
