Hi Skylar,
Most corporate kinds of places will want you to be at least 16 years old. You can try to build connections with smaller organizations (Mom and Pop kind of shops/restaurants) who may be willing to hire a 14-year-old. Most 14-year-olds work as babysitters, pet sitters, mowing lawns, doing things that do not require a job application or having you as an "employee".
Try to be brave and ask any place that you visit if they are hiring, and if they are, would they hire someone who is 14. It never hurts to ask!
If you are looking just to gain experience, you can look at volunteer opportunities, which are also great to get your foot in the door for a future job when you turn 16!
I hope this helps!
