Emily is the newest member of the BWorks education team. Joining us as the COVID-19 pandemic surged demand for our programs, for the first year we never got to see the smile behind the mask. During the week, Emily works with St. Louis Public Schools as a first-grade teacher. On Saturdays she continues investing in the kids of St. Louis, providing instruction in both our Earn-A-Bike and Learn-To-Ride classes, while also lending a hand in our retail bike shop.
Tom has been teaching school-aged youth since 2012 in a local middle school. His love of bicycles and teaching students made him a natural fit to lead our Earn-A-Bike classes since 2017. You can find Tom at BWorks teaching most Tuesday and Thursday evenings, whether on the computer or bike side of our operations. His personal dedication to getting more kids on two wheels has allowed us to expand our highly in-demand Learn-To-Ride offerings.
Evie started with BWorks in the Earn-A-Bike classes, spending over a decade of Saturday after Saturday working with students toward weekly goals and preparing for adventures. Most recently she took a position as our programs director overseeing the BWorks programs. In her first eight months in this position BWorks was able to significantly increase youth programming and also begin offering some special events for graduates of our programs and their families.
A huge thanks goes out to Evie for all her continued hard work for St. Louis youth education.
Mark started off in 2016 teaching our Earn-A-Bike class. His skills riding mountain bikes coupled with teaching in local grade schools led him to BWorks. For the past few years Mark has been one of our main instructors for off-site classes. His joyful interaction with children and his sense of what each individual needs to be successful makes him an excellent fit for teaching kids both in our Earn-A-Bike and Earn-A-Computer courses. His dedication to helping us bring BWorks programs to wherever people are, out in the community, has been immense.
A huge thanks goes out to Mark for his continued dedication to our local youth!
