Kings County District Attorney Kenneth Thompson and KCDA staff joined the nation in recognizing “Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day” on April 24, 2014. This program is a tangible investment in the leaders of tomorrow. Consistent with the program’s 2014 theme “plant a seed; watch it grow,” this day long program exposed our youth ages 7-16 to varied career paths available at the Kings County District Attorney’s Office.

The day provided a fun, interactive, hands on learning environment and was kicked off with District Attorney Thompson greeting the children in the Bob Kaye Training Room. More than 40 children registered, and they had the opportunity to participate in lectures, observe forensic demonstrations, tour various offices, create a resume and envision their future. “As District Attorney, it was an honor to meet and greet the many beautiful children of our employees. I know first-hand the benefits of seeing career options at an early age, and I firmly believe that we have future administrators, lawyers, graphic artists or judges in our midst.”
