Getting that first job is always the hardest. After you get one, you’ll have some work references.

I would give teacher names and their school number, explaining that they are teachers. My daughter also used a couple of family friends as her first references. For the most part, if this is a job at a fast food place, or a store, they are just looking for someone to say - hey, s/he seems like a good kid to me, never been been in big trouble, likely to show up for her/his scheduled hours.

If you are friendly with any of your family’s friends, they can be perfectly fine references too.
