Winter Teen Jobs

Looking for winter teen jobs? A few extra dollars to add to your allowance or to fill in now that your summer money has run out?

Winter jobs can require a little more creativity because some of the typical summer outdoors work just doesn't work in the colder and shorter days of winter. But that doesn't mean they can't be found! Take a look at our suggestions - use them as they are or fine tune them for yourself.

First things first
The same guidelines that applied for summer teen jobs apply for winter teen jobs, too. Need a refresher? Check out these pages for some guidelines:

• Make sure your old enough by checking age guidelines here.
• Not as many of the worst teen jobs are options in the winter but make sure you are not considering ones that make the list.
• Figure out whether you want to work for yourself or someone else. This may be different than how you felt in the summer. You may love the heat but can't stand the cold.

It's worth a couple of minutes to review this information before you get started. Things seem to go smoother when you get started on the right track instead of trying to correct course once you get started.
