The gerunds in the paragraph are:
1. mowing (from "mowing lawns")
2. looking (from "teens looking for part time jobs")
3. mowing (from "mowing lawns and meeting neighbors")
4. meeting (from "mowing lawns and meeting neighbors")
5. spending (from "spend an afternoon")
6. working (from "get to work in the sunshine")
7. meeting (from "meet new people regularly")
So, the gerunds are "mowing," "looking," "meeting," "spending," "working," and "meeting."
