Discover, learn, and connect with others at Raleigh Parks' Cultural Outreach and Enrichment (COE) Program! We invite you to join us for programs and events that foster connections and explore the ethnic and cultural richness of our community. 

COE provides a range of valuable services. We offer free English classes both in-person across the City and online. We also work with community partners and other City of Raleigh departments to connect individuals to vital services to foster belonging and create a support network within the community.

COE includes Peach Road Cultural Center, a community gathering place in south Raleigh.

Volunteer with Us

Our programs and English classes would not be possible without the support and dedication of our volunteer instructors. The Program is always looking for enthusiastic individuals with passion, interest, and teaching experience. Certification and/or previous experience teaching English are ideal but not required. 

I'm interested in becoming a volunteer!
