In addition, the Institute offers programs for college, high school and middle school students, as well as for citizens interested in learning more about journalism and its impact on society. These courses are offered at many locations, including Poynter's headquarters, notable conference locations in major cities, and client locations as custom programs designed for specific audiences.Poynter's curriculum, both in content and delivery, emphasizes the new and the timeless.

In addition to its courses, Poynter also leads efforts to help guarantee that the practice of journalism will be sustained in the future. For example:- The creation of The International Fact-Checking Network, a forum for fact-checkers from five continents, was born out of the desire to study and discuss fact checking as a journalistic instrument worldwide.- Specialized Reporting Institutes, supported by the McCormick Foundation, meet the growing need to provide journalists and others with subject-specific expertise and practical reporting training on issues or topics in the news.- An endowment transferred to Poynter from the Newspaper Association of America (later American Press Institute) received from the Knight Foundation that tracks the digital transformation of news media and enables Poynter to extend the practical training of digital tools.In 2016, 4,377 students participated in 87 regular or custom courses and public programs. Many of them received scholarships or other assistance with tuition and/or travel expenses. Poynter underwrites a portion of program costs for all students.

In addition to their work at the Institute, Poynter faculty members provide pro bono instructional service to journalism organizations, particularly those intended to serve members of minority groups. In 2016, in partnership with the Tampa Bay Rays, the City of St. Petersburg, and the Wells Fargo Foundation, Poynter continued its commitment to the "Write Field" program to teach at-risk middle school boys in its home community the value of writing and journalism through the context of a one-year writing and life skills program.Poynter enjoys a global reputation. More that 612 domestic and 102 foreign news organizations have sent their employees to Poynter teaching, including organizations in South Africa, Indonesia, Turkey and throughout Europe.
