Community Health Education

Wake Teen can provide age-appropriate community health education for your groups. We have multi-session programs as well as offering one-time presentations. Finding the best match for your needs is important to us!

Educational programming is available for schools, non-profit organizations, faith communities and other youth-serving groups as possible. We do not offer one-on-one education, and we highly recommend advance scheduling.
