Learn Fresh Education





Learn Fresh is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that provides a fresh take on academic exploration through Student Centered Design, sparking students’ curiosity in the educational value of the ordinary and extraordinary in their lives. We utilize culturally relevant topics to develop fundamental academic skills and show students that learning can be derived from the things that matter most to them. Through relationships with iconic individuals and brands that students revere, we bring these experiences to life in and out of the classroom. Our mission is to make learning fun for everyone. We aim to improve student engagement and achievement through the creation and distribution of innovative, fun, and effective educational tools. We explicitly strive to reach the students across the country who have historically performed at the lowest levels, and we recognize the enormous disparities that have perpetuated such trends - specifically for low-income students of color.
