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.
