🎉 WHAT A WAY TO WRAP UP IHDZÍ KIDS! 🎉
Today was our final day of the summer Ihdzí Kids program, and Market Day was a huge success! ❤️
Over the past week, these kids took their ideas and turned them into real products. They learned, created, harvested, baked, packaged, priced, marketed and today sold what they made to the community!
They created Yukon-inspired products using locally harvested plants
Made body scrubs, lip balms, salves, teas and more...
Created beeswax wraps
Baked and sold their own treats
Created and sold their own lemonade blends
Designed products, labels and displays
Learned about pricing, sales, customer service and entrepreneurship and ......most importantly, worked together and supported one another!
A huge Mussi to everyone who came through the doors today, bought something from the kids, tried their lemonade, encouraged them and helped make their first market such a success. You showed these young entrepreneurs that their ideas and hard work have value.
❤️
And this isn't the end.....Ihdzí Kids Club (idea from the kids!) will begin in September! Im glad to oblige ;-) ❤️
To celebrate everything they accomplished, we'll be bringing the group back together for a make-your-own pizza and movie night!
The extra funds earned through the market will go right back into Ihdzí Kids Club, helping us continue this momentum and create more opportunities for kids to learn, make, experiment and build their entrepreneurial skills.
AND… we now have an IHDZÍ KIDS CORNER at Ihdzí! 🥳
This will be a special space where children from our community can showcase and sell the beautiful things they create. We want young people to know that their creativity, skills and ideas belong here.
This week was about so much more than making things to sell. It was about food sustainability, connection to the land, creativity, confidence, teamwork and showing kids that they are capable of turning an idea into something real.
We are so proud of what they accomplished.
Mussi cho to our kids, families and everyone in the community who helped make this week such a success.
The first Ihdzí Kids Market may be finished....but Ihdzí Kids is just getting started! Stay tuned! ❤️
