We prepare young people for college, careers and futures as well-rounded, global citizens. Founded in 2006, Comer Education Campus serves youth from the Greater Grand Crossing community and the surrounding neighborhoods on Chicago’s south side. Our mission is to ensure our youth graduate from high school prepared for college and careers. Together with community partners, we provide a safe and supportive environment for young people ages 8-24 after school, on weekends, and during school hours. We serve nearly 2,000 youth from seventy-two area schools annually through out-of-school-time enrichment, academic enhancement, and college and career preparation programs.
