Introduction

To be innovative, visionary, and at the same time to be caring and considerate, is the purpose of Verde Levél, the Junior Achievement company. Integrating a modern business perspective with the traditional values of a community, our team of motivated and passionate youths takes a new approach to business, emphasizing style, substance as well as the fundamental purpose of Junior Achievement: for youths to learn through action; for youths through action to inspire.

Action and inspiration are conveyed simply: through T-shirts. As company member Arpad Soos states, "Ask not what your T-shirt can do for you; ask what you and your T-shirt can do for the environment." We at Verde Levél embrace this type of attitude, the attitude that an individual can change the world through words, imagery, messages. Indeed, Verde Levél emphasizes style through the use of carefully selected image of a allegorical tree, celebrating the beauty of our planet, and our planet's dire need for preservation. The 100% cotton, high quality T-shirt, and meticulously eco-friendly design process and tag that Verde Levél supports is our dedication to our product's substance, to our call for action.

The fundamental desire for the company to learn is never forgotten among the ideal for style and substance. Every member of the company approaches the team with enthusiasm and an initiative to learn to apply skills in many diverse areas to the real world. We, the collective youth of Verde Levél feel our basest value and aesthetic are best summarized by our mission statement:

Embodying innovation and quality, Verde Levél is a business run by dedicated students, who strive to learn about business by providing affordable styles to customers, and by giving back to the community and environment.
