Would you think about an older teen who is involved with 4-H, Scouts, or Junior Achievement? Those are all programs that seem to attract more trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, curteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent (a little Boy Scout humor there) kids. If you found such an individual who is old enough to have a driver's license and the need to earn a little money to support their own interests or college savings, you might have a real win-win situation. They could earn money, learn something that might earn a badge or credit for their program. You should have a reliable, motivated employee that you might not have to pay as much as you would a full fledged adult employee.
