Are You Taking Your Kids to Work Today?

The annual observation is today, April 26.

 

It’s not very often that kids ask their parents for work they can do, but that’s exactly what’s happening today throughout the Tampa Bay area and beyond.

Yes, it’s time for the annual Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day!

“For over 19 years, individuals, families, organizations, and workplaces have joined in the Day to expand opportunities and transform the lives of millions of girls and boys both nationally and internationally,” wrote Carolyn McKecuen, president of the Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Foundation on the organization’s website. That agency promotes the annual event.

The observation is designed to get kids thinking about careers and to help them learn more about their options – and the work ethic required to take them where they want to go.
