Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work (SM) program
Girls and boys want and envision a future in which they are able to be involved in all parts of their lives. During the ten years we organized Take Our Daughters To Work Day, we realized how difficult it will be for children to realize those expectations. While we were creating opportunities for girls and women, men were thanking us for creating a day when they could be "public fathers" in the workplace. They reported that if they left early for a parent-teacher conference or to care for an ailing relative, the unspoken rules of the workplace assumed work was not their top priority. Such challenges are even greater for the thousands of adults working multiple, low-wage jobs just to survive. We anticipate the new program will be just an educational experience for all of our nation’s daughters and sons.
