Almost Fun’s mission is to level the playing field of college access by providing free, culturally-relevant, and accessible education and test prep resources designed for the 8 million low-income students and students of color. Our curriculum is based on content students enjoy—movie scripts, young adult novels, pop culture, and real situations—to engage students in their learning and help them build skills in a way that feels relevant. Students learn parallel sentence structure and grammar through dialogue from Black Panther, how charts effectively support an author’s thesis through an article arguing Fenty is more inclusive than other makeup brands, and how to set up linear equations through a word problem about buying snacks to deal with a bad break-up.
