What's Inside
From the inception of "Take Our Daughters to Work Day" in
1999 up to 2002, UMD Department of Human Resources coordinated this
event.
Effective 2003, "Women's Resource and Action Center (WRAC) is now the coordinator of the event which has been changed to "Take Our Children to Work" Day to include also boys.
"Take Our Daughters to Work" Day is a national education campaign, launched in 1993 by Ms. Foundation for Women, http://www.takeourdaughterstowork.org/, designed to heighten girls' (ages 9-15) aspirations and help them make the connection between academic success and success in the real world.
