Guys,
You need to get out and start knocking on doors.

For summer work most places won't be using the internet to fill openings. If you want a summer job, not an 'experience' go to fast food joints, lawn services, summer camps, grocery stores and start filling out applications. You need to hit the pavement.
Also, have your parents talk to their friends about possible openings, talk to adults that you know from ECs and ask them about possible summer jobs.
If you have special skill you can start your own business. My S made decent money each year in HS fixing computers for people. He made up business cards and word of mouth kept him busy (plus his prices and service destroyed Geek Squad). Baby sit, mow yards, paint houses; all those are jobs that are totally in your control; you make your own business.
