1 Week Away!

Please join us for our 30th Reach for Excellence Virtual Gala honoring Heidi Capozzi & Mary Presberg. Each year, our gala raises over $1 million for Chicago's low income youth and families.

For 22 consecutive years, 100% of our students graduated from high school and enrolled in college.

Hey Midtown Family! My name is Baldwin Martinez I am the marketing intern for the Midtown Summer and well my time here as an intern has come to an end, as today is my last day. I was responsible for being the content creator of Midtown's instagram and facebook and taking a lot of pictures and videos of the kids here participating in the program. As my internship comes to an end I want to say thank you to all the Midtown Staff for helping me have a fun summer while working. I want to give a shoutout to Vince Meno who is my boss, for guiding me, expanding my skillset, challenging and still supporting me during this internship. I appreciate you Vince. I also want to thank Gabriel Avalos and Carlos Martinez for being two awesome gentlemen! They have had such a positive impact on the kids, the families and the Midtown Program. So thank you to them as well. As for me, I will be heading back to school next week to WIU and hopefully graduate in the Spring! Wish me luck! 😁Enjoy this random photo dump! Have a fun and safe rest your year.

On Friday Midtown COP Engineering and Architecture apprentices visited the FGP Atelier firm and listened to Fransisco Gonzales! Thank you Mr. Gonzales for taking the time out to talking to our apprentices.

We also had Nestor and Melina come in from St. Thomas to talk about their four pillars: education, leadership, advocacy, and community. Awesome exercise they demonstrated with the students! #MidtownCenter #MidtownforBoys #SummerCamp2021 #SummerCamp

🙏🏼Thank you to the 6 Midtown alumni that took part in our College Orientation Program’s College Panel last night. These are all current college students sharing their experiences, tips, and lessons learned from their journey from high school and now into college. This included their challenges with remote learning at the college level. We are blessed to have so many of our alumni stay engaged and give back to the next generation. #midtownathome #collegeprep #collegeorientation #collegepanel #highschool #chicagohighschools #thecollegeexperience #mentoring #sharingwisdom #lessonslearned #givingback #alumni #bigbrothers #afterschoolprogram #chicagononprofit

Midtown Winter/Spring 2021 Virtual Open House

Facebook LIVE Virtual Open House and Q&A session for interested or currently enrolled families. Discussing Midtown Center's Winter/Spring 2021 after-school program offerings for boys grades 4-12.

Gryssel is a Mom and Teacher with a son and daughter currently enrolled at Midtown Center and Metro Achievement Center. Here she shares her struggle, and the struggle of thousands of parents, who can see the benefit in after-school enrichment programs like Midtown & Metro, but are not fans of more screen-time. Learn why she chose Midtown Educational Foundation (midtown-metro) programs for her kids and students by watching the video and visiting our site to learn more. MEF is reengaging with schools and teachers this Fall to try to partner with them and provide a helping hand beyond the school day. If you are parent of a 4th-12th grade student or an educator interested in what Midtown & Metro has to offer, please contact us to see how we can combine our forces to make your students thrive during this challenging school year. #teachers #moms #teachermoms #educators #afterschool #afterschoolprograms #nonprofits #elearning #virtuallearning #inpersonlearning #pods #tutors #mentors #tutoring #charactered #lendahend #ittakesavillage #midtownathome
