Empowering students AND FAMILIES, supporting educators, and connecting volunteers
The Future Well Kids programme teaches kids ages 10-13 about chronic diseases – also called noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) – and how they can stay healthy and reduce their risk of developing chronic diseases later in life. Through an engaging standards-aligned curriculum, students learn about chronic diseases, like Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and how to reduce their risk of developing these diseases through body science, health, nutrition, and healthy lifestyle education.
REACH
In partnership with schools and community organisations from around the world, we’re on a mission to equitably engage and empower students and families of all backgrounds regardless of learning environment.
IMPACT
In addition to establishing better habits, students also learn about body science topics and other STEM skills through the programme.
COMMUNITY
Our programme resources are helping to create healthier students and communities by redefining the importance of health and wellness in students’ success and raising awareness of NCDs.
