About 65 youths gained a glimpse of the world of work Aug. 7 when DAS participated in Bring Your Daughters and Sons To Work Day, a national event aimed to introduce 9- to 15-year-olds to the workplace and allow them to see the diverse job opportunities available to both women and men.

The youths assisted with a variety of tasks, including paying bills and ordering toner.
