About Meet The Workerbeez
The Author
Meet the Workerbeez was founded in 2024 by Robin Humphrey, a single mom and neighborhood leader who, through a fellowship with UMKC’s Center for Neighborhoods, recognized the need for a sustainable solution to poverty and the growing skills gap.
Our Mission
Meet the Workerbeez empowers children to build brighter futures by reducing the likelihood of adult poverty and closing the skills gap through engaging books and games that inspire career exploration, strengthen literacy, and promote real-world learning.
Why It Matters
Children today need more than stories, they need pathways to understand the world of work and the roles they can pursue. We believe early exposure to workforce concepts fosters confidence, expands career horizons, and strengthens community engagement. Our books, games & programs build foundational literacy while inspiring futures leaders, innovators, and changemakers.
How We Do It
✔ Diverse characters
✔ Real-world career themes
✔ Strong literacy foundations
✔ Memory, vocabulary & critical thinking
✔ Community + employer engagement
✔ Fun, screen-free activities
We're dedicated to creating equitable opportunities for children to learn about careers, work ethics, and community roles.
Our Dream
We dream of a world where every child has the opportunity to develop valuable skills, achieve financial stability to help strengthen the neighborhoods, communities, and cities they call home.
