Grow Financial Welcomes Children for Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day

Help Children Dream Big! Grow Financial welcomed employees’ children to headquarters on April 26, Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.

Children ages 8-18 enjoyed group tours of the building, a variety of interactive activities and lunch with their parents! The event was hosted by Grow’s Youth and Schools Committee, led by Chief Retail Officer Jason Moss.

“We have hosted this event for the last 11 years because of the smiles,” Moss said. “It’s a day when our work families get to celebrate with our personal families. It starts with the morning drive into work. The parents are excited to show off their workspace, and the kids are excited about going to work! There are lots of laughs and smiles which ultimately leads to memories.”

The Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Foundation is dedicated to developing innovative strategies and research-based activities in informal educational programs that empower girls and boys reach their full potential and live fulfilling lives. Carolyn McKecuen, the Executive Director of the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Foundation, leads the organization as they advocate for changes in social policy and public awareness on behalf of youth.

“For nearly 25 years the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work program has been ‘Leading the way…’ inspiring young dreamers to dream big,” McKecuen said. “Inspiring them to dream of themselves in boardrooms, city halls, union halls and concert halls. Inspiring them to believe in themselves as much as they believe in their superheroes. Inspiring them to envision a future for themselves in a workplace where everyone is welcomed.”
