This exciting economic education program will help students make connections between everyday living and community economics as they take on the roles of various community workers. Students will earn paychecks, make consumer choices, use teamwork in their job sites and learn the interdependence of a community of workers. These activities will provide students with the basic experience and knowledge to complement the social studies, community workers and economics curricula in your school. Thirty schools will receive a free field trip and teacher's workshop. Participation in the teacher workshop is a prerequisite for the free field trip.
Participation is on a first come, first serve basis.

Each tour will conclude with a special program. Reservations A Children's Village tour lasts approximately one and a half hours and reservations are required.
