Join us for Lemonade Day 2012 on June 9.
Lemonade Day is a FREE, fun, experiential, business education program that teaches youth ages 5-17 how to start, own and operate their own business using a lemonade stand. On one day across our country youth learn fundamental lessons about life, success and themselves. They earn profits, share with charities and stimulate local economies.
Bring Lemonade Day to your City
Lemonade Day provides an opportunity for families, businesses, community organizations and schools to unite for a common purpose – to train the next generation of entrepreneurs. Learn more, about how to bring this program to your city. And even if we are not in your city, you can still participate!
