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!
“BWorks has a vested interest in seeing investments in enforcement and education when it comes to protecting vulnerable pedestrians and cyclists trying to simply live, work and play in our region. This isn’t about me pushing for funding that can be used for our youth programs, but rather about urging those in charge to do what’s right and ensure that changes are made, and soon. Adults have created these problems, and adults need the education and enforcement that can help correct them. And the adults in the room need to recognize that engineering as a single solution to such a complex problem is not the answer.”
