To achieve its goals, genHkids has developed several different programs, many of which focus on eating whole foods. These programs address potential issues at both home and school.

In addition, genHkids has developed a 9-month educational series for elementary students called Roadmap to a 100 Year Heart. This curriculum discusses not just how to have a healthy lifestyle, but also why. Finally, the organization also helps children learn how to plant and harvest their own produce using school and community gardens through a program called Grow Your Grub.
