Volunteer

Looking for a meaningful volunteer experience?

"The opportunity to have a long-term relationship with a student and to really help that individual work through a number of challenges is quite wonderful." 
-Deb DeHaas, Deloitte LLP

Just 2 hours. Once a week.

Since 1965, Midtown and Metro have served thousands of youth & their parents across Chicago.

You can help our Chicago youth stay in school and enter college by volunteering for MEF's award-winning programs.
