High school student jobs in Minnesota

Are there any high schoolers from Minnesota who have part-time jobs? I'm interested in working somewhere that accommodates school activities. Any pointers on good companies or industries for students looking for flexible hours?

Hello! It's wonderful to hear you're interested in balancing work with your school and extracurricular activities. In Minnesota, there are several opportunities for high school students to work part-time.

Retail and food service, in particular, are often popular choices for high school students, thanks to the flexible hours these sectors tend to offer. Companies such as Target, Subway, McDonald's, and Starbucks are known for accommodating student schedules quite effectively. These employers often need additional staff during peak hours, which frequently align with after-school hours and weekends, making them a good fit for high school students.

One other sector to consider is tutoring or providing educational assistance, like working at Kumon or a similar learning center. If you have considerable proficiency in a particular subject, you can potentially work as a tutor, helping younger students or your peers. This kind of job not only offers flexibility but can also be rewarding as you help others learn.

Additionally, many civic and recreational departments in local governments offer part time job opportunities for high school students. These places often need staff for after-school programs, sports activities or other community-targeted programs.

Finally, remember some companies may require you to be at least sixteen to work, but this can vary from one employer to another, so double-check any age requirements before applying to a position.

Hope this helps and best of luck with your job search!
