Most likely, it's not very legal for a 14 year old to work for money unless it's in the entertainment business or if you're working for your parents or other family members.
Check out all the options that link gave you, though... some might help out.

As far as I know, nobody will hire someone as young as you. Most places are 16 to 17. Some places are strictly 18 or 21. In order to find a place that'll hire at 15 is luck.
You really can't do much with no experience either, which is pretty crappy. I didn't have much work experience prior to my current job, and I applied at a ton of places and nobody ever called me back. I was qualified to work there (I mean, really - how hard can it be to do some of the stuff they ask?) but without experience they wouldn't even look at me.
It's a shitty process because without experience they won't hire you. But it's your first job so you're not going to have experience anyways. How the hell are you supposed to get experience if they won't hire you? It's shit. I know. I think you should just wait until you're a little bit older because right now (even though you don't want this suggestion) the only thing you can really do is work as a babysitter or do some extra chores around your house.
Maybe you could try volunteering at a library. I'm sure they don't really care for age as long as you have an interest in books. :)

Honestly, I can't think of anywhere. You have to be 18 at Walmart, I believe. You have to be 15 and a half for fast food places even.
You could volunteer at a hospital and it would give you some experience to put on applications next year so you'd be more likely to get a job faster.
You could try getting hired to clean people's houses or something. But that would be on a more personal level. You're not going to find applications to fill out for jobs like that.
You can't work at any sit-down restaurants, no retail places, and no business places right now either.
You could try fast food because it might be different in your area; but I really doubt it.
