Web / Graphic Design Jobs for Teens?

I’m 16 years old and have a couple of year experience with HTML, Photoshop, and Illustrator, Flash, and a few other programs. I’d like to find a freelance job in web design, but I’m sure where to look. I am currently doing a small job for free just to get some experience, but I’d like to get a job and make some money. Most freelance sites that offer web design jobs are targeted at adults, so I’m not sure where to look.
You should check out the design job board on Craiglist.com. There are lots of people on there looking for reasonably priced HTML freelancers. Another option is to contact web advertising companies. You’ll have to send them samples of your work, but they could always use affordable production artists for web campaigns (especially Flash rich media ads). Another option is local small business that might want web services for a lower price than most professionals charge. Find out if local businesses need a web presence and offer to build one for them. You should be able to get lots of leads and hopefully some jobs to build your freelance portfolio. Hope this helps.
I would take a look at a website such as
