Long story short, and to avoid my “boss” getting mad at me, I'm a 15 year old male who decided to help out at a local nature center over the summer. Now, this isn't a normal thing like a pet shelter or something. It's a job where every Wednesday I'd be expected to plan a 15-20 minute activity for kids of literally all ages I mean toddlers to kids older then me after a presentation. However, the problem is that the head of this nature center expects me to be there every Wednesday as if I was working there, but won't pay me anything. I really want to work there because I am interested in a career in a nature field, but getting no money is a big turnoff. Thoughts on what to do? Looking on how to address the topic with her other then “give me a chance and if you decide to not pay me that's fine” since getting no money the entire summer would be a bit hard since my parents expect me to get some sort of job.
