What is Lemonade Day?
Lemonade Day is a national experiential learning program that
inspires entrepreneurism and teaches youth not only how to
start their own business by operating a lemonade stand, but
also fundamental lessons about life, success and themselves.
Children, along with an adult mentor, register to participate and
receive all the necessary educational materials free of charge.
But like any new business, children must find investors to
provide start-up funding for their businesses.
Working alongside their mentors, children go through 14
lessons including product development, business planning,
establishing pricing, marketing their business, etc.
With their profits, the young entrepreneurs are encouraged to
“spend a little” on themselves as a reward for their hard work;
to “save a little” for the future; and to “share a little” with the
community that supported their business by giving to a
charitable organization of their own choice.
Financial support from businesses, service organizations and
community members ensures the program is free to
participating children.
