Benefiting the Midtown Center for boys and Metro Achievement Center for girls
Reach for Excellence is an annual effort benefiting Midtown Educational Foundation (MEF). For more than a quarter century, it has provided funds to help Chicago’s at-risk youth flourish, in school and in life.
MEF’s Mission
Midtown Educational Foundation guides low-income urban youth in Chicago along pathways of success. Its proven enrichment programs embrace the dignity of the person by focusing on academic excellence, virtue development, individual attention, and parental engagement.
MEF’s Vision
Chicago’s urban youth will be inspired and guided to positively transform their lives, families, and communities.
MEF operates through its Metro Achievement Center for girls and Midtown Center for boys in Chicago. Serving students in grades four through twelve, programs offer after-school and summertime growth opportunities that help students of average academic ability to achieve above-average results. Programs are rooted in Catholic moral and social teaching and embrace students regardless of their religious, racial, ethnic or familial status.
