Welcome to Covington Partners In Prevention!

Covington Partners in Prevention was founded in 1999 to reduce drug abuse and violence among Covington youth. Since that time, we've expanded our offerings to include a variety of mentoring, family strengthening, and physical/mental health programs. Every aspect of this Coalition's work is focused solely on supporting the children of Covington.

Upcoming Events!

Please join us on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 from 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM for our monthly partners' meeting at the Center for Great Neighborhoods, 1650 Russell Street.  Lunch will be served.
