In 2014, celebrating it’s 21st anniversary, National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day is April 24. This day is recognized on the fourth Thursday of April each year. The 2014 theme is, “Plant a Seed, Grow a Future.”
This annual event is an educational program in the United States and Canada that revolves around parents taking their children to work with them for one day. It is the successor of Take Our Daughters to Work Day which, in 2003, was expanded to include boys. Most companies allowed both girls and boys to participate since the beginning, renaming the day “Take Our Children to Work Day” or such an equivalent name.
“Employees typically invite their own children or relatives to join them at work, but the program particularly encourages employees to invite children from residential programs or shelters who may not be exposed to many adults in skilled professions today.”
