Our story

The Lemonade Day + Yippee Partnership

Lemonade Day teaches entrepreneurship to thousands of students! 

Our foremost objective 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.

Lemonade Day teaches lessons like creating budgets, setting profit-making goals, serving customers, repaying investors, and giving back to the community. Along the way, students acquire skills in goal-setting, problem solving, and gain self-esteem critical for future success. 

Through the support of the Mott Foundation, partnership with Yippee, and presence on the Yippee Exchange, we now have the capacity to serve even more students and classrooms. 

Together, we're empowering today’s youth to be tomorrow’s entrepreneurs!
