Future Well™ Kids
Empowering a new generation to lead fuller, healthier lives

Inspiring kids to develop healthy habits today, to create a healthier tomorrow.

The Future Well Kids program teaches kids ages 10–13 about noncommunicable (chronic) diseases, and the ways that they can stay healthy and reduce their risk of developing chronic diseases later in life. Through engaging standards-aligned curriculum, students are empowered to take charge of their own health as they learn about chronic diseases like Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, while discovering how to reduce their risk of developing these diseases through physical health, nutrition and healthy lifestyle education.

Educators

Empower your students to take charge of their own health by bringing Future Well Kids to life in your classroom by integrating our fun, flexible and adaptable standards-aligned print and digital resources covering the essentials of healthy living.

Families

Healthy habits can last a lifetime, especially when they’re established early on. The Future Well Kids program provides your family with educational activities and discussion guides to help build a healthy foundation together.

Employees

Plant the seeds for healthy behaviors by volunteering with the Future Well Kids program, which partners with schools and community organizations near Abbott sites around the world.
