I was working as a freelance web dev at 17. I just approached local businesses to see if they needed simple, static websites made, or if they had existing websites I'd show them how they could be improved and how their presence on the web is important (even more so now than it was then!). You'd be surprised how receptive a lot of them are - for many of the businesses it seemed like 'build a new website' had been on their minds for a while but they hadn't got around to looking for someone to do it yet.
