New York City Job Listings
I have my working papers and I couldn’t get a job through the summer youth job program because I am attending dance classes all summer. So what are some jobs I can get after school during the school year? I like kids but I don’t want to baby-sit and I don’t want to work in the library, and please don’t write for me to get a paper route I live in the city almost every one buys their paper at the store.

Come up with a business that you can do by doing something you enjoy. One young teen started a birthday party business. Perhaps you could start a plant watering business for people who are away on vacation?

When you say “after school” do you mean when classes are over (for the school year) or after summer school ends?
If it’s after classes in the summer (meaning the afternoon), you’ve removed yourself from the best available jobs. However, here are a few recommendations from when I lived in Manhattan and had odd jobs :
(1) Go to the neighborhood grocery store. Introduce yourself as being from the neighborhood. Ask if they need part-time help.
(2) Look in the classified ads for part-time work.
(3) Go to a fastfood store, or a doughnut or bagel shop.
Hope that helps. I think it’s cool that you want to work. My son got a job with a non-profit health clinic / teen center / senior center as a Web designer. He was 16.
Even if you can’t find work, do some research. Find out what types of job skills are in demand, and try and teach yourself. You may have started too late this summer, but you’ll be qualified and prepared next year!
