Lemonade Day Alaska 2016
by Michelle Saport |
During Lemonade Day Alaska 2014, the Lemonade Chickens--Riley Conti, Alexi and Ella Blakey--were excited to be raising money for a Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team in Training.
We're on our way to the sixth Lemonade Day in Alaska - Saturday, June 11, 2016. Help us empower today's youth to be tomorrow's entrepreneurs!
Lemonade Day is a free, fun, experiential learning program that teaches youth how to start, own and operate their own business-a lemonade stand. It began with a vision to shape Alaska into a place that breeds, grows and attracts entrepreneurs. Each child that registers receives a backpack with an Entrepreneur Workbook that teaches them the 14 lessons of Lemonade Day like creating budgets, setting profit-making goals, serving customers, repaying investors, and giving back to the community. Along the way, they acquire skills in goal setting, problem solving, and gain self-esteem critical for future success. They keep all the money they make and are encouraged to spend some, save some and share some.
The foremost objective of Lemonade Day is to empower youth to take ownership of their lives and become productive members of society - the business leaders, social advocates, volunteers, and forward-thinking citizens of tomorrow.
Get involved:
- Encourage youth to participate. Registration for lemonade stands will be open until Saturday. Register at alaska.lemonadeday.org.
