LGMM Youth Group of the Month

Grace Youth Group Carwash- Orlando, FL

The Grace United Youth Group increased their profits by 67% by using the Little Green Money Machine book and business stand to raise money for their outreach programs!

As a group they went through the Kids in Business Around the World book, where they learned the tricks of running their own carwash. They set their goal. They adjusted their pricing. They learned how to create advertising and attract more customers.  They created banners, yardsigns, and fliers to help spread the word.  Busy location? No problem. 

And on carwash day, they used the business stand to collect money and make change and also increased their advertising! Who can miss a bright green stand?

The Grace Youth Sales & Marketing team passed out fliers and attracted a lot of customers!

The Grace Youth Group learned the value of determination. With the Little Green Money Machine, they increased their profits and more than tripled their customers!
