Senate Resolution No. 1860

BY: Senator BAILEY

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 April 23, 2026, as Take Our Daughters and Sons To
 Work Day in the State of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official days that are set aside to increase awareness of educational
programs designed to teach our children the importance of making an
honest living, the value of hard work, and the development of a strong
work ethic; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 23, 2026, as Take
Our Daughters and Sons To Work Day in the State of New York, in
conjunction with the observance of National Take Your Daughters and Sons
To Work Day; and

 WHEREAS, The Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Foundation is a
non-profit agency established to build diversity in the workplace, raise
public awareness of children's issues and provide adults with pro-active
strategies to help girls and boys remain resilient, especially in the
world of work; and

 WHEREAS, Through its leadership, expertise and collaborations, the
Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Foundation advocates for changes in
social policy and public awareness on behalf of youth; and

 WHEREAS, Since 1993, on the fourth Thursday in April, more than 40
million youth and adults in over four million workplaces around the
world have participated in the Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work
program; and

 WHEREAS, Designed to be more than a career day, the Take Our
Daughters And Sons To Work program goes beyond the average practice of
"shadowing" an adult; and

 WHEREAS, Exposing children to what a parent or mentor does during
the work day is important, but showing them the value of their
education, helping them discover the power and possibilities of work and
family life, providing boys and girls a chance to share how they
envision the future, and allowing them to begin steps toward their goals
in a hands-on and interactive environment is key to their achieving
success; and

 WHEREAS, Participants are encouraged to post videos, photos, and
stories about how they have been influenced in their professional roles,
as well as post conversations with children on topics such as education
planning, self-discovery and bullying prevention; and

 WHEREAS, By bringing children together, we all contribute to
creating a more equitable world at home, at school, and in the
workplace; and

 WHEREAS, This year, we are celebrating the opportunities kids will
discover and those for parents, mentors, and the community to be
involved in this unique educational experience; and

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that those
educational programs aimed to enhance the well-being and vitality of the
youth of our communities certainly have earned the recognition and
applause of all the citizens of this great Empire State; now, therefore,
be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 23, 2026, as Take
Our Daughters and Sons To Work Day in the State of New York; and be it
further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
