Leaders across Anne Arundel County recently recognized National Bring Your Child to Work Day 2026 by welcoming young people into workplaces and offering a firsthand glimpse into a wide range of careers.

Observed each year on the fourth Thursday in April, National Bring Your Child to Work Day encourages children to explore the professional world by accompanying a parent, guardian, or mentor to their place of employment.
