On March 18, 2010, U.S. Senators Richard Burr and Mary Lanrieu submitted a resolution which would recognize Thursday, April 22, 2010, as “Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.”
The program, created over 16 years ago, was meant to be more than a mere career shadowing experience. It encourages parents to take their children to their workplace, in efforts to reveal the importance of their everyday work and the significance of their children’s education.
This year’s theme is 1 Youth, 1 Dream, 2Morrow’s Leader, written in texting format for more widespread appeal. The organization hopes this theme will spark discussion between families about the children’s own dreams for the future.
