One of the few places in the USA is Start Skydiving, formerly in Lebanon, Ohio and now moving to Middletown. You will need notarized permission to both parents. One thing, though. You cannot do a tandem skydive, as that age limit is 18. But you can learn how to skydive at Start by taking the Accelerated Freefell (AFF) course at 16. It's about six hours in the classrom, followed by your jump. Instead of being attached to an instructor (like you would on a tandem) you wear a rig yourself. Two intructors jump with you, but you're trained to fly yourself, deal with any malfunctions and how to fly and land your canopy.
Yes, there are places that will let you skydive at 16, but you will need parental permission. You cannot skydive without permission until you are 18.
It is unlawful to skydive (in the United States) if you are younger than 18 years old.
This is individual for each skydiving company but in general they don't accept minors.
