Where do you live? Hidden Pond takes teen volunteers for camps and animal care.

Counselor in training at summer camp. Once they turn 16 they can get paid, until then it's volunteering.

When my son was 14, he volunteered at a summer nature camp. At 15, he got a lifeguarding job.

Humane society?

The obvious one is life guarding, if your child is a good swimmer. The parks department has some opportunities as well.

Any suggestions for good summer volunteer opportunities or job ideas for a young teen (15 years old)? We are in NOVA, if that matters. Kid loves history, the environment, animals, helping people... Thanks for any leads!
