Take your Little to Work Day - April 23rd, 2026 - Big Futures

Thursday, April 23, 2026 is National Take Your Child to Work Day — which makes it the perfect opportunity to invite your Little into your world. Take Your Little to Work Day isn’t just about an office visit; it’s about pulling back the curtain and showing them what’s possible. This experience gives your Little exposure to new career paths they may have never considered, builds confidence in professional spaces, expands their network and social capital, and helps them imagine their future in a tangible way. You get to be the bridge between curiosity and opportunity. Closer to the event, we’ll send a guide to help you structure the day and make it as impactful as possible. As an added bonus, all participating matches will be entered into a raffle to win one of multiple $25 gift cards of your choice! On Take Your Little to Work Day, post a photo of your Little at work and tag @bbbskc in your post or story on Instagram, facebook, or LinkedIn to qualify for the incentive! If you do not use social media, email your photo to Droo on the same day to qualify.
