We are thrilled to announce Amy Brinstill as the new Recreation Manager at Variety St. Louis! Joining our Programs team, Amy brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to her role, where she will be spearheading all aspects of recreational activities, leading fellow team members.

Amy’s journey into this role stems from her background in Human Development and Family Studies, graduating from Mizzou with a BA. During her college years, Amy found her passion in an inclusive classroom environment while working at Easter Seals, where she formed deep connections with the children she worked with.

With eight and a half years of experience as a Service Coordinator at the St. Louis Regional Center, Amy was instrumental in linking children and young adults with vital community resources. Through this job, Amy became acquainted with Variety, as many of the families she assisted were also part of the Variety community.

Amy also has a background in project management within the water restoration field, which makes her eager to leverage her expertise in special education alongside project management to excel in this position.

Driven by a strong sense of mission, Amy is eager to immerse herself in the lives of Variety Kids and their families.

“With such an impactful mission and a passionate team, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children in our community. I am dedicated to fostering an environment of diversity, inclusion, and empowerment for every child we serve,” shares Amy.

Amy met her husband when she was working as a job coach, now 16 years later they have two kids, Brady (14) and Benny (11), along with a zoo of animals including dog Luna, cats Milo and Charlie, and Petey the Gecko!

The Brinstills are avid travelers, venturing to the beach and enjoying quality time with family and friends. Their favorite destinations include Universal Studios and Jamaica! In her spare time, Amy volunteers at her son’s school, stays active, and indulges in her love for coffee.

Please join us in giving Amy a warm Variety welcome! If you need to reach Amy, please contact her at Amy@VarietySTL.org or 314.720.7719.
