Partners in Prevention (PIP) seeks to provide community-based programs to prevent child abuse. In Summers County, PIP provides us with funds to sponsor an Americorps Member. AmeriCorps is a network of national service programs, made up of three primary programs that each take a different approach to improving lives and fostering civic engagement. Members commit their time to address critical community needs like increasing academic achievement, mentoring youth, fighting poverty, sustaining national parks, preparing for disasters, and more.
