Lemonade Day is a fun, experiential program that teaches youth how to start, own and operate their very own business - a lemonade stand. Each year, in participating cities, youth have the opportunity to experience entrepreneurship by setting up their business during their city's community-wide Lemonade Day.
Lemonade Day has been set for July 17 for Houston, Sugar Land, and the entire Houston metro area. Lemonade Day would like to register as many kids as possible for this free program. Sabrina Roesler, 9, is a resident of Sugar Land and is the Lemonade Day Houston 2020 Youth Entrepreneur of the Year. She is a youth ambassador for the Lemonade Day program.
Established in 2007 in Houston, Lemonade Day teaches the basics of entrepreneurial learning. Mentors guide participants through a series of youth entrepreneurship development lessons via the My Lemonade Day app or workbooks. Kids gain the experience of planning, launching, and operating a business. The valuable lessons of Lemonade Day include setting a goal, making a plan, working the plan, and achieving their goal. Lemonade Day participants keep the money they earn after paying back their investors and are encouraged to spend some, save some, and share some of their profit with a cause that matters to them.
Lemonade Day has expanded to 84 licensed markets in 31 states, Puerto Rico, Canada, and Bermuda, along with six U.S. military bases. More than one million children and thousands of adult mentors have participated in Lemonade Day since 2007. Adults can register children to participate in Lemonade Day and give them a taste of the sweet success that comes with launching their own business.
