Teach Children to Save (TCS) program is available to second grade teachers located in the Cook, Lake and DuPage counties. The program matches financial industry volunteers, who present a savings lesson and activity, with second grade classrooms. The volunteer will leave the book and lesson with the teacher at the end of the 45 minute presentation and activity. The classroom visits take place during the second week in May.
Teachers simply register and select a class period convenient to their schedule. The volunteer take care of the rest!
