Mission Statement
Midtown Educational Foundation guides low-income urban youth in Chicago along pathways of success. Our proven enrichment programs embrace the dignity of the person by focusing on academic excellence, virtue development, individual attention and parental engagement.
About This Cause
Since 1965, the Midtown Educational Foundation (MEF) has provided a safe haven for Chicago’s underserved youth. Through the efforts of more than 400 weekly volunteers and an extremely dedicated staff, MEF’s programs help youth break through the shortcomings of their surroundings by embracing the Chicago community. This support helps students reach their full potential in the classroom, in fulfilling careers and in their community. In addition to core weekly student-volunteer collaborations, MEF hosts a guest speaker series and a robust field trip program which further connect the Chicago community. During the high school years, MEF students are introduced to opportunities to study abroad, attend a four-week summer camp, engage in guided college visits, join in corporate site tours and more. In short, MEF programs work to leverage the Chicago community to bring its students out into the world, and bring the world to its students.
