The mission statement of the Bullitt County Partners in Prevention is as follows:

“Caring and involved citizens working to create a safe and healthy environment through comprehensive prevention services and reducing substance abuse among Bullitt County youth and families.”

The Bullitt County Partners in Prevention (PIP) has worked together to prevent youth substance abuse since 1995. PIP recieved funding from 1995-2000 through a SAMHSA grant through Seven Counties Services, and was supported by a grant from the DFC Support Program from 2007-2013. Now, PIP operates under the same DFC grant from 2018-2023 and is fiscally managed by Bullitt County Public Schools. The coalition benefits from the involveement of many committed community partners who fully support its mission of addressing youth substance abuse problems in the community and providing prevention and education to prevent use. The coalition has a diverse mix of members with fresh perspectives. The coalition members are represented by 12 sectors of the community, described below

Bullitt County Partners in Prevention’s organizational structure consists of an Executive Board and General Body. The Executive Board consists of the Chair, Co-Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer, with roles and responsibilities delineated extensively in the by-laws. Elections are held annually for these positions and officers are elected by the coalition membership. The fiscal agent for this Drug-Free Communities grant is the Bullitt County Board of Education. The Project Coordinator, with oversight by the Executive Board members, Project Director, and Bullitt County Board of Education finance office, will be responsible for the management of federal, state, local, and in-kind contributions related to this project. The Project Coordinator and Bullitt County Partners in Prevention officers are primarily responsible for maintaining existing resources within the coalition. The Project Coordinator will work with coalition officers and other members to administer the action plans for the coalition which are based on the steps of the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). All volunteers are from one or more of the twelve community sectors and operate under volunteer protocols set forth by the governing body as well as BCPS.
