Dd will be applying for sixth form college in Sept this year. She will have just turned 15 the previous month.
One of the questions on the college application form asks about what work experience she has done. Most of her friends are 15 now, and some have part time jobs, or volunteer in charity shops, but are only eligible to do this because they're 15.
We've looked for voluntary opportunities for her - doing anything! - but everything seems to be open only to 15+ year olds.
I'm worried that she will be at an unfair disadvantage when she fills in the application for the sixth form college because as a lot of the other applicants will be 16, or nearly 16, and will have had part time jobs/done voluntary work.
How can she get experience at only 14?
