As I was walking towards the Farmers Market earlier today, I stopped to have some delicious lemonade made by a couple of young Roosevelt Island entrepreneurs. The girls were very impressive demonstrating efficient and friendly service with a smile at a good price – 25 cents – can’t beat that.
Starting a lemonade stand is a great way for kids to have fun, meet people and learn business skills. Did you know there is a Lemonade Day ?
Lemonade Day is a nation-wide event 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, experiential activity.
