Educating young minds for a healthier future.
OUR MISSION
The widespread and devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in New York overwhelmed and stressed all of us. The lack of information about the disease was the inspiration behind wanting to educate young children, so they would make smart choices and decisions for themselves and their loved ones. Next Gen Guides serves to educate and empower children to be responsible, stay fit and lead a healthy lifestyle. Future guides will address pressing health issues that young people should be informed about, such as obesity, vaping, alcohol and drug abuse, and traffic accidents.
WHAT WE DO
Next Gen Guides creates and distributes accessible, easy to understand guides for young people on the most pressing health issues facing their generation. Guides include helpful information, health tips, colorful diagrams and pictographs, as well as exercises such as quizzes to allow readers to test their knowledge on each topic.
