About Lemonade Day
Lemonade Day is a free, fun, experiential learning program that teaches youth how to start, own, and operate their own business - a lemonade stand.
​
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.
​
Each child that registers receives access to the Lemonade Day curriculum that teaches them lessons 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.
​
Lemonade Day is a national organization based in Houston, Texas and currently serves 90 communities in 3 different countries. The program has served more than 1.5 million kids to date and generated $270 million in profit, which is kept by the participating kids.

The Acadiana Story
Lemonade Day Acadiana was licensed in 2022 and our first event had 59 kids register from across Acadiana, with some participants from as far away as Alexandria, Louisiana. This first event was so successful that our event chairperson and organizer, Natasha Bryan, was recognized at the Lemonade Day National Conference for "The Best City Engagement".
