Programs: Green beetz is a comprehensive program that teaches kids about all aspects of food literacy and what it means to be a good food citizen, delivering information in a way that is entertaining, hands' on and draws on popular culture.

In 2014, green beetz was active in harlem delivering the program at east harlem school, p. S. 007 and an ymca after-school program in central harlem.
