Support Local Young Entrepreneurs On Lemonade Day August 14

Lemonade Day is Coming to Humboldt on August 14

It will help young entrepreneurs ages 6-18 with interest in planning their own Lemonade Stand.

They are working in partnership with AEDC and are looking to recruit mentors. Because the commitment is short it’s a great way for those that can’t make the full commitment of a year, but know how important the investment of time is for our youth.
