Can you think of any jobs a 16 year old could do...?
wether it be volunteering or interning or an actual job that involved helping animals? i cant think of any but god, i really really want to help them in more ways that just being vegan. the only thing is, my age puts a major damper on the options. please give me ideas if you have any? i would appreciate it!
Answers:
What a great attitude. There are for sure many opportunities out there and organizations are always looking for volunteers (shelters, farms....)
This is great webiste for you:

I suggest that you find the vegetarian association in your city (most major cities have one) by googling it.
Call them up or go see them. They will be able to help you for sure because they have this kind of information.
Good luck
Work at a shelter!
Try the Humane Society, or just your local shelter.
i applaud your mentality and motivation, just be aware that as a sixteen year old you probably wouldn't be doing the work that you desire. for example, if you volunteer at a humane society, you won't be caring for the dogs as much as cleaning out cages - they won't risk the liability of a teen with potentially dangerous animals. perhaps you could work at a pet store to ensure the animals are being treated fairly. i have a friend who visits different stores and keeps track of the health and environments of the animals - if there is a problem, she reports them to the proper people.
Maybe working in a shelter?
