Teens4Hire.org, a 501c3: Please Contribute to the Workforce of the Future

Teens4Hire.org is the #1 U.S. online member community of teens (14-19) seeking jobs and/or other ways to earn money and the organizations that want to reach them.  Our mission is to remain the "go to" career and recruitment destination for employers seeking to hire and positively influence self-motivated and ready to work teenagers.

Teens4Hire.org qualifies to receive tax deductible contributions.  Please make your contribution here: https://pledges.com/teens4hire and include "Teens4Hire" in the memo line to ensure proper deposit to our account. 

We were the first online national service (2002) dedicated to teens actively seeking work.  We catch young people at the moment "they" feel they are ready to work.  It is at this time that young people make critical choices that affect their transition into adulthood and shape their perceptions about work, money, and life. 

Job hunting for teens is haphazard at best.  More than 80% of teens want to work.  Many feel their income is a necessity rather than a luxury.  Others realize that work-based learning early in life will help prepare them for the future.  Work experience at this stage in life is critical, and studies show people who spend a large share of their young adult years unemployed have a hard time finding and keeping a job later in life.

As Robert H. Shaffer is quoted as saying, “We must view young people not as empty bottles to be filled, but as candles to be lit."

No one will “give” you a job. You have to earn one.

We have been bombarded with phone calls and emails from teens who—want Teens4Hire.org to “GIVE” them a paying job. This may sound silly to some of you. Unfortunately for others they are serious. For those of you in the later category, I hate to break this to you but Teens4Hire.org does NOT give out jobs. In fact, no one does! You have to EARN a job. You earn a job by first preparing yourself for employment. By 14 years of age you should know how to: Read with understanding, Communicate with good grammar verbally in English and in writing, Do basic math accurately (add, subtract, multiply and divide), Take and follow directions, Get along with others. Beyond that, you should have some sense of what you ‘can’ do as well as what you would ‘like’ to do. Once you have some idea of what you can and would like to do, identify places in your immediate neighborhood where you’d want to work. Be realistic. If you don’t have a car or public transportation, don’t consider a job th
