The KAPOW Program KIDS AND THE POWER OF WORK (KAPOW) is a national network of business and elementary school partnerships. KAPOW introduces young students to work-related concepts and experiences that can be continually reinforced throughout the students' formative years. This program was founded in 1991 by Grand Metropolitan Inc. and the National Child Labor Committee, a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the rights, dignity, and will-being of children as they relate to work, working, and education. Communication and organization are the keys to creating a successful KAPOW partnership. When the participating schools and businesses work together, they succeed in bringing an awareness of the workplace to students in the classroom. Our Curriculum Bank of America is our KAPOW partner. Once a month volunteers teach lessons to our sixth grade students in the classroom. Our Bank of America volunteers are: Emily Arcia, Felipe Basulto, Henry Campos and Lisette Diaz. Between lessons and the volunteer's visits to the classroom, teachers reinforce the KAPOW work themes. KAPOW
