Take Our Children to Work Day is held annually on the fourth Thursday in April.
Take Our Children to Work Day encourages and inspires youth while introducing them to future workplace possibilities. Children learn about Penn as a top employer and institute of higher education, while having fun. The campus activities are geared toward elementary and middle school children, though children of any age are welcome to attend. Numerous schools and centers welcome children to visit and engage, with a range of activities and programs to suit young guests’ varied interests and career goals.
Please note that supervisory approval is required for all staff and faculty participants, who must accompany their young guests to all activities.
Advanced registration is required and opens Tuesday, April 1 at 9 a.m.
Penn is grateful for the support of our partners from various departments, schools, and centers who host events throughout the day. New and existing partners are welcome. If your department is interested in in hosting a program for Take Our Children to Work Day, please contact Cassie Paoli by no later than Friday, February 28, 2025, at worklife@hr.upenn.edu or (215) 573-2471 with details, or to schedule a meeting.
