Lemonade Day Alaska Scheduled for June!

March 27, 2014

Lemonade Day is a nationwide endeavor that teaches kids the skills they need to be successful in the future. Youth learn to set goals, develop a business plan, establish a budget, seek investors, provide customer service, and give back to the community. Lemonade Day is the perfect opportunity for a community to show kids they care and train the next generation of entrepreneurs through a FREE, fun, engaging, and experiential activity.

When it is: Saturday, June 14, 2014 Lemonade Day Alaska will be a statewide event.

The objective of Lemonade Day Alaska is to give children of all socioeconomic backgrounds, in all neighborhoods, the opportunity to learn about starting their own business. We will have 4,000 registrations for Lemonade Day Alaska 2014.

Young people participate for FREE. It begins when they register to participate and receive a Lemonade Day backpack full of resources. The young person and a caring adult complete each lesson together. Youth of all ages, preK through high school, can participate at no cost. Youth put their new knowledge and skills to work when they open for business on June 14th, with their very own lemonade stand. Each child keeps all revenue earned from their business and are encouraged to save a little, spend a little, and give a little to their favorite charity.
