I hate to tell you this but in Virginia as in most states you need to be at least 16 to have a real job. For know jobs such as baby sitting, dog walking, car washing, gardening and lawn moving are the only way you can raise money.

The problem most places have with hiring people at your age has to do with transportation and child labor laws. Just want to point that out because that will prevent you from being able to do some jobs. I'm going to give you the link about Virginia's child labor laws so you can get a better understanding of them. Also, you will need a worker's permit.

Anyways, as for actual jobs, some restaurants might hire you as a server. I know Chick fil a, Burger King, and McDonald's can hire 14 year olds. If there is a specific place you want to work at, be sure to ask or check out a website to find out at what age they hire. Another thing you can do is odd jobs around the neighborhood like babysitting, dog walking, and mowing lawns. Don't get discouraged if you can't immediately find a job. As you will find out soon, there are lots of people and not enough jobs to go around. Also, I found a website that might help too.
