Your best bet would be to check with local university biology departments.

When I was 17 I got a volunteer position through my college under a post-doctoral student doing cancer research. Often there are legal limitations for people under 18 in labs, but it doesn't hurt to ask the administration/teachers at your current school as well as trying to contact local universities

(We often have 16-18 year old volunteers in our labs at the vet hospital, they make great gofers and cleaning staff)
