Adulting School

Adulting School is for anyone who was never taught the basics. Learn the skills to be a successful adult.

Why you should join: Practical classes, articles and support on money, work, wellness, relationships and DIY, with small achievable goals and no judgement. Free to join.

The one-liner

A free online campus teaching the practical adult skills nobody taught you, started in Portland, Maine.

What they actually sell

Adulting School, run by Rachel and Rachel, lives on Mighty Networks. Its public pitch: "A growing community teaching the skills you need to become a successful adult." It is free to join. Rachel and Rachel created Adulting School in Portland, Maine to help people learn things like what an APR is or how to fix a hole in the wall before losing a deposit. It started with live local classes that went viral, and the founders built an online campus instead of travelling. Members are invited to be early adopters and help shape what gets taught. The Mighty Networks door is the main public surface.

Who pays and why

Adults of any age who were never taught money, home and life basics. The pain is feeling behind and being told everyone else has it together. They join for practical classes, articles and posts on real adult life, without judgement.

Where the members come from

The Mighty Networks lander and Rachel and Rachel's invite path appear to be the main door. Public social proof on the page is thin, so growth reads as word of mouth and owner-led invites. Exact follower counts are not shown.

What's holding it back

It is free and early, so it depends on the founders creating enough classes to keep people coming back.

Steal this

Teach the embarrassing basics openly and without judgement, because that is where adults feel most alone.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for other basic skills such as cooking or car maintenance. Weak for advanced professional skills.
