At the Poe Center, we are dedicated to helping North Carolinians make healthy choices through engaging health-science education. Our team of expert health educators works with schools and organizations across the state to provide interactive programs on a variety of health and life-science topics for people of all ages. Whether you visit our iconic field-trip destination in Raleigh or participate in our programs online, the Poe experience is effective, valuable, and one-of-a-kind.

We offer programs on general health, dental health, nutrition and physical activity, family life, substance use prevention, and bullying prevention. Additionally, our CookWELL Kitchen and GrowWELL Garden provide hands-on learning experiences. Explore our PlayWELL Park, where learning meets fun, or delve into our online exhibits like All About Bees and MindWELL Mental Wellness.

We also offer resources, workshops, and events for educators, donors, volunteers, families, communities, and professionals. Join us in our mission to promote health education and make a difference in our communities. Together, we can lead healthier lives in North Carolina
