At Chicago Training Center, we know opportunity often comes with hidden costs. Between equipment, transportation, travel, meals, and entry fees, extracurricular activities can become a major investment for families.

We’d love to hear from parents and caregivers:

How much do you typically spend each year on extracurricular activities for your child?

Your answers help highlight why access and affordability matter.
