Ref or ump for rec sports leagues (at least the ones near us in nova use 14+ year olds for the younger age groups). Teen would need to know the sport although doesn’t have to be a star.

She needs to hit the neighborhood for dog walking, shoveling, etc., or check with the public library - they usually have a handle on jobs.

My kid walks dogs and also does house sitter-type duties (waters plants, cares for cats, checks mail, turns lights on and off).

^^ can lifeguard at 15, but until then, babysitting is the best option and pays well for teens. Pet sitting and dog walking is good too
