They also attend scheduled field trips at area colleges, where students talk with coeds and professors about college life and curriculum, and tour campus.

Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work®: The program provides a once a year opportunity for girls and boys to share their expectations for the future in the context of seeing new opportunities for balancing the responsibilities of job and family.
