Youth 16 or 17 years old may perform any non-hazardous job for unlimited hours.
Youth 14 and 15 years old may work outside school hours in various non-manufacturing, non-mining, non-hazardous jobs. They cannot work:
More than 3 hours a day on school days, including Fridays;
More than 18 hours per week in school weeks;
More than 8 hours a day on non-school days;
More than 40 hours per week when school is not in session.
Also, 14- and 15-year-olds may not work before 7:00 a.m., nor after 7:00 p.m., except from June 1 through Labor Day, when their permissible hours are extended to 9:00 p.m. Under a special provision, youth 14 and 15 years old who are enrolled in an approved Work Experience and Career Exploration Program may be employed for up to 23 hours during school weeks and 3 hours on school days (including during school hours).

You might want to spend more time boosting your reading comprehension. I would kindly invite you to carefully re-read OP’s post.

Maybe spend some time boosting yours. The PP replied with a correction 3 minutes before you replied with that snark.

Yup. OP, my next text isn't helpful so skip it. Other readers wondering about their own growing teens:

My son applied to two day camps to be a sports counselor. Applications were due by the end of January. They did their hiring before March.

Another summer he had an internship - same thing. And other internships he looked at also did the process in mid winter/early spring.

Pretty much all that's left is sandwich places and stores.

It might even be too late to find a summer job. It's JULY in a week..

It is a little late to apply for a summer internship.

Honestly - she should just call people she knows, or look at organizations she likes and call and ask. I heard they are still looking for counselors at WES in Bethesda, try other camps or other places at the mall.

Any ideas on where to look? Websites, etc..
