GreenSoul Shoes was invited to give a lecture on Social Entrepreneurship to high school kids from the Prep to Prep program in New York City. These bright and outgoing kids have been picked after a rigorous selection process for a 14-month long after school program. The program covers from advance academics to personal development. During this summer, they are focusing on creating their own business plan. Their business ideas range from a service to convert analog media to digital media for the non-techies to selling vintage dresses. We could see how driven they were! we have no doubt that they will be our future leaders and successful businessmen/women.

So our team has been visiting different fulfillment centers in the metro NYC area. Thus far we have looked at a number of centers (in fact, just one yesterday!) and have been rating each location on a number of metrics including:
- Do they resonate with our mission?
- How responsive is their customer service?
- Who are some of their other clients?
- How orderly are their facilities?
Collectively, these elements will help us determine if there is an opportunity to create a really special, long term partnership. Here is a picture we took of Iris yesterday at one of our site visits. =)
