Patch Poll: Did You Take Your Kids to Work Today?

Businesses nationwide will be getting some new employees for the day. April 26 marks the 20^th anniversary of Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.

In a message about Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, Carolyn McKecuen, president of the TODSWD Foundation, explained the aim of the program.

“Exposing girls and boys to what a parent or mentor in their lives does during the work day is important, but showing them the value of their education, helping them discover the power and possibilities associated with a balanced work and family life, and providing them an opportunity to share how they envision the future and begin steps toward their end goals in a hands-on and interactive environment is key to their achieving success,” she said.
