Lets Brainstorm for the Summer by Lisa Frederiksen Bohannon Summers are a great time for middle school students to earn some extra money and garner job skills that will put their resume ahead of the rest when applying for real jobs in high school. They will learn time management, dependability, people skills, communication and marketing skills, self-confidence and money management (in addition to earning money!). Middle schoolers are often interested in working, not only to make money, but to feel more independent and older. Most people who worked at a young age can reflect back and agree that work was usually a positive experience. Weve provided this information, which can be printed or emailed, to give to parents as a tool they can use to help their young student as he or she embarks on a search for summer jobs. At the end, weve included information for parents if they are interested in helping their children explore careers over the summer. These are home packets that are available through our website. The packets include a book, interest inventory, and activities. If you have additional information that we can add to this information sheet, please contact us so we can include it. Our best ideas come from our customers. Identifying Potential Summer Jobs for Middle School Students Whether at the dinner table or in the car, its always a good time to talk with your child about work and school. If you have a middle school child, chances are good that they are interested in earning some extra money. We know there are advantages to working: They will learn time management, dependability, people skills, communication and marketing skills, self-confidence and money management (in addition to earning money!). But, it is difficult to find a job at such a young age. Here are some steps to go through to help you and your child identify areas in which they may be able to earn some extra money: 1. Take your student through your jobs around the house each day (or week) - Who waters the lawn and patio plants?, - Who mows the lawn and sweeps the patios? - Who washes the car(s)? Picks up the dry cleaning? Does the grocery shopping? - Who takes care of the kids who are out of school for the summer? - Who walks and feeds the dog? Makes dinner for the family? - Wwho sorts the mail or takes out the recycling? All of these are potential summer jobs for young students to work for neighbors and friends who are going on vacation or working outside the home while their children are home for the summer. Make any additions to this list here: 2. Observe what you see others doing. How old are they? Would they invite a middle school student to help them? Add your observations here: 2008 Career Kids, LLC - Permission is given for school districts to distribute Identifying Job Skills Your Student Already Has or May Want to Develop 1. Brainstorm with your child as to whether they have the skills to do these jobs. One example, may be babysitting have they taken care of their younger siblings, helped prepare meals, cleaned up after play dates? Dont forget your boys! Many parents of boys are looking for boys for babysitting. If your student is lacking necessary job skills, how might they get them? Check with your local Red Cross or city to see if they are offering babysitting course. 2. Discuss ways your student might offer their services as a summer job. - This would include figuring out how much to charge (ask friends whove used students for similar jobs, for example). - It would include helping them come up with a sales pitch a one or two sentence description of what they can do and how they can help. Let them practice it on you. Itd also help to come up with a business name: Johns Yard Help or Susans Babysitting Services. - Decide whether they would benefit from making a flier and passing it around the neighborhood. If so, what do they want to put on it: business name, their name and phone number or email address, description of their services, maybe a quotation from someone who will vouch for their follow-through and quality of work. Discuss with your student the advantages of volunteer work or community service. Check into your local SPCA chapter, church or local organizations that may need young people to assist. There are nature centers, museums and camps that look for volunteers. If you child has a passion for certain activities, encourage him or her to develop the skills used in those activities, even if they dont get paid. For instance, the young writer can develop a community newsletter, either in print or electronic. The videographer can develop documentaries about the community or fictional stories using buddies as actors. Its hard, especially when parents are working, but we want to help with ideas that will keep your child engaged, active and safe this summer. 2008 Career Kids, LLC - Permission is given for school districts to distribute Here are some ideas for summer employment to brainstorm with you child: Babysitting Pet sitting Yard workers Bicycle repair Camp counselor Referee and umpires Computer tutoring or training (this can be a good resource if you live near a retirement community) Garage sales House sitting (pick up mail, packages, feed animals, water plants while neighbors are away) Car washing/detailing DVD rental (if the family has a large collection) Recycle pickup (they make their money when they take the recycling to the service center) Library pick up and return For more tools to help your child explore careers, take a look at the following Home Pack you can order from  HYPERLINK "http://www.careerkids.com" www.careerkids.com.
