Have you started Spring cleaning? Clearing out closets, making room, going through your kiddo's clothes as they keep growing? , as a reminder, the Rainforest Play Zone is accepting gently used clothing (no stains, rips, or holes), household decor, and gently used (like-new) toys. Clothing can be infant to adult, for boys, girls, women, and men!

Thank you for thinking of the Rainforest Play Zone Community, which is made up of moms, dads, guardians, and grandparents, as you clean out your home to make room for the next, because we're all in this together, and your donations help the Play Zone just as much as the parents and their kiddos that are standing next to you.

The Rainforest Play Zone is almost complete! What it lacks is a few good trees. Trees for dynamic lighting, a forest canopy, added in thrills of imagination come to life!

How the community came together for the at Twin Lakes, let's gather round to build the Rainforest Play Zone its trees! Each tree will be built for the benefit of different programs, non-profits, and businesses in town: The Alaska Youth Choir, Encouraging Word Bookstore, Valor House Coffee (page Coming Soon!), the Rainforest Play Zone, and Mom-Pro.

Five trees to transform the space from great to amazing because our kids deserve the "Wow!" factor when it comes to the indoor spaces where they play when wanting to stay safe, warm, and dry during our rainy weather days.

Names of those who donate towards the will be displayed on a board hung from the tree's branches.

More information will be forthcoming as this project gets underway! For now, take in a mockup of what we're hoping will be brought to life one day. 🙏🏻

We're about to get teary-eyed just thinking about this...

Saturday, April 25th, the Mendenhall Mall is hosting a Youth Entrepreneur Market from 11am-2:30pm, and we couldn't be more proud to open our doors to the next generation of Juneau business owners.

These aren't just cute little booths (though they will be adorable). These are K-12th grade students learning profit and loss, public speaking, production costs, and what it feels like to create something with your own hands and offer it to your community. Plant starts, baked goods, hand-sewn creations, inspired idea... all made by kids right here in Juneau.

For the past 10 years, the IDEA Homeschool Program has been nurturing young makers and dreamers through this market, and we are so SO honored they chose the mall as their event's new home. More space, more walk-by traffic, more opportunity for these students to be seen and celebrated by their neighbors.

So here's what we're asking: Come out next Saturday. Bring a little cash. Buy something from a young entrepreneur. Ask them about their business. Show them that this community sees them, supports them, and believes in what they're building.

Because that's what we do here... we show up for each other. Especially when "each other" is a 7-year-old selling homemade dog treats or a high schooler offering lawn care services.

We're so glad you're here, mall family. Let's fill the halls and cheer these kids on.

At the Rainforest Play Zone in the Mendenhall Mall we know that we are all interconnected, cheering on everyone in our community, because none of us survive without our neighbor standing next to us. It's in this spirit we ask all of you to gather around The Alaska Youth Choir in supporting them as they raise funds for their upcoming Spring Concert! The AYC choristers have sold 10 tees out of their 50 Tee Goal. Please consider purchasing a T-shirt and wear it to their Spring Concert to be held at Chapel by the Lake on May 28th!
