Starting next Monday, October 4th, we will be moving all of our action and content over to our page to unify our efforts during our "Reach for Excellence" Week of Giving. We cannot continue to build on the 56 year legacy at Midtown without the support of our donors and sponsors, so please join us over there and honor the amazing impact of both Midtown and Metro Achievement Center.

Thanks to our neighbor, for hosting a great high school fair last night. Many of our Midtown families and reps from Midtown's MAP Program for 7th and 8th-grade students were in attendance.

Thanks as well to all the High School reps who took time out of their nights to provide info on each of their schools.

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. With that support, we have been able to continue helping our students achieve their goals and guide them on to pathways of success. 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.
