Lemonade Day Indianapolis 2010

Lemonade Day is a free, Indianapolis -wide program that teaches kids how to start, own and operate their own business – a lemonade stand. Each kid who registers will receive a bright yellow backpack - inside is everything you need to prepare for Lemonade Day. It’s easy to sign up, here’s how:

1. Pair Up: You must have a “caring adult” – that could be a parent, grandparent, older sibling or other responsible adult.

2. Register: Sign up online. You have to have an adult for this.

3. Pick Up Your Backpack: Backpack Pick-Up Locations (Indianapolis-Marion County Library Branches are on the list!)

4. Prepare for Lemonade Day: When you get your backpack, you’ll find two workbooks: one for you and one for the adult working with you. Spend the next few weeks – at your own pace – working through these lessons about starting, owning and operating a business.
