Our Coalition

Corby King
Director of Schools, Putnam County School System

“It means a lot to our administrators, teachers, and staff in the Putnam County School System to have community members come together and address the issue of substance misuse. It also means a lot to our 12,000 students to have the Power of Putnam coalition show how much they care about trying to make Putnam County drug-free. Through its strategic efforts and commitment, POP addresses underage drinking, tobacco use, and prescription drug abuse with students and parents in our school system. We are extremely fortunate to have Power of Putnam in our community."

WHO WE ARE

Power of Putnam (PoP) is a coalition of community members who are concerned about the issue of substance misuse in Putnam county. 

Po
P seeks to unite the community in the development and implementation of strategies to prevent and to lessen the progression of substance misuse, particularly underage drinking.  We seek to support the efforts of other community agencies and fill the gap in services to address the problem. 

OUR MISSION

To unite the diverse elements of Putnam County in a united substance misuse prevention effort designed to empower individuals, strengthen families and build character and resiliency, resulting in drug free children and youth.

JOIN THE FIGHT

We are always looking for dynamic and committed leaders as well as agencies to provide meaningful, long-term support for programming to reduce underage alcohol and drug use.
