About Meet the Worker Beez

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.

 Meet the Workerbeez was founded in 2024 by a parent 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.
