Junior Achievement serving Elkhart County is proud to announce JA BizTown will host a Community Open House on Saturday, August 6th from 9:30 am to 11:30 am in conjunction with the 2022 Lemonade Day festivities.

This event, that is open to the public, will provide a sneak peek of the new facility, a free treat from The Brew or Ice Cream on Wheels (while supplies last), and the opportunity to support young Lemonade Day entrepreneurs that have their stand set-up at the JA BizTown facility or other location of their choice throughout the community.

JA BizTown one of Junior Achievement’s most unique and exciting programs, uses hands-on experiential learning to teach 5th-6 th grade students lessons about the economy, entrepreneurship, work readiness, and financial literacy. JA BizTown provides students an incredible and valuable opportunity to play an integral role in a working economy, to experience a rewarding career, and to develop the confidence they need to overcome the challenges of their current circumstances and dare to dream of a brighter future.

To register for Lemonade Day and receive your digital app for student guidance in planning of their Lemonade Day stand, please follow this link: https://my.lemonadeday.org/register.

If your young entrepreneur would like to set-up at JA BizTown, have them “brand their stand” on the Lemonade Day website during registration by providing the JA BizTown address 1025 N. Michigan St., Elkhart, IN 46514.

Students are asked to bring their own card sized table to set up the day of the event. Please encourage your student to get creative with the branding and décor for their stand.

For more than 8,000 students each year across Elkhart County, Junior Achievement’s volunteer-delivered economic education experiences foster work-readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy skills and use experiential learning to inspire students to dream big and reach their potential.
