Through hands-on, real-world experience, this event teaches participants essential life skills such as financial literacy, goal setting, customer service, and leadership. The program encourages students to think creatively, manage money responsibly, and gain confidence as young business owners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Held at the Mayborn Science Theater on the Central Texas College campus, Lemonade Day University brought together local youth and college student mentors for a full day of interactive learning. Members of the college\u2019s Net Impact Chapter guided students through the process of building their own lemonade businesses, from branding and budgeting to product development and sales strategies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
