2025 Lemonade Day - Rochester Area MN

Squeeze The Day! Help us empower today’s youth to be tomorrow’s entrepreneurs!

Lemonade Day is a free, fun, experiential learning program that teaches local youth entrepreneurial and life skills as they learn how to start their very own business. Learn how to develop a business and experience all the aspects of developing and maintaining a business such as creating a product, establishing a budget, designing a marketing plan, and so much more!

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, either via workbook or My Lemonade Day app, 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.

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN SOON!

Once you register you will get an email explaining the next steps. Participants can work on lessons either by means of workbook or My Lemonade Day app.

Backpacks and shirts have been ordered and will soon arrive at the Chamber office. Once we get them in we will send you an email explaining how to pick them up, either at our office or by attending one of our upcoming events.

Lemonade Day - June 7, 2025

Sweet Spot: Become a Sweet Spot for a young entrepreneur! The Sweet Spot Program is designed to help youth entrepreneurs sign up for high-traffic locations on a city’s Lemonade Day. Sweet Spots are created through business partnerships throughout the city to help youth achieve sweet success! Once you sign up you will be added to a list that will be given to the participants! Sending in this document does not guarantee you have a youth with a stand outside of your business. It is the responsibility of the youth to reach out for permission to set up their stand outside of your business.
