Mission Statement

The mission of the Lemonade stand is to provide a safe, structured and nurturing group living environment for adolescent girls between the ages of 12-17 years old. Our intention is to empower each resident to turn life’s lemons into lemonade, by addressing their emotional, intellectual, social, physical, and spiritual needs. Through the dedicated and caring staff along with various wraparound services, our residents will be encouraged to reach their maximum potential.

Vision

The Lemonade Stand will create an atmosphere where its residents will heal from past and present traumas brought on by their exposure to physical, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as neglect. As a result of their stay, our residents will develop and demonstrate positive coping and problem solving skills that enhance their individual ability to fulfill vocational and educational goals and live productively within their communities.
