These Children Are Building Businesses And Helping Their Community

Every Wednesday morning in Trussville, Alabama, about 20 kids dressed in neon safety vests and helmets pedal through the Birmingham suburb belting out Taylor Swift songs, picking up classmates along the way until they arrive at Magnolia Elementary School as part of a growing global movement called bike buses. The concept dates back to 1998 in Belgium but exploded worldwide after a Spanish elementary teacher launched a group commute in 2020, with footage going viral and inspiring more than 470 bike bus groups around the world that coordinate safe two wheeled commutes for students. Audra Marshall started the Magnolia Bike Bus after seeing it on Instagram, expecting only a few participants but quickly growing to more than a dozen regulars and 40 riders at their special nighttime Christmas event last year.

Meanwhile in Bedford, New Hampshire, high school students gather every Thursday to pack bags with peanut butter, granola bars, and easy meals for approximately 1,150 food insecure classmates across their district who might not have reliable nutrition between Friday and Monday. The student run organization called Fueled By Kids has packed more than 235,000 bags of food since starting in 2016, distributing almost 1.9 million meals and snacks while keeping recipients anonymous from the volunteers. Beyond transportation and nutrition, young entrepreneurs are learning business skills at children exclusive markets popping up from Massachusetts to New Mexico, where vendors aged four to 14 can sell their handmade wares and develop marketing concepts. The City Flea in Cincinnati organizes an annual parallel public market specifically for young vendors, while Belmont Farmers Market held its first Entrepreneur Day teaching kids to write business plans alongside selling their goods. These three movements prove that when given the opportunity and support, young people can create meaningful solutions to real community problems while building skills that will serve them for life.
