The Governor's Red Ribbon Campaign is held each October throughout the states. As a community coordinator for the campaign, the Bulloch County Alcohol and Drug Council encourages citizens to wear or display red ribbons to help create awareness of abuse problems and celebrate drug free living. There is a kickoff luncheon in August, and there is a poster contest, a T-shirt contest, and a Banner contest.

PRIDE (Parents' Resource Institute for Drug Education) has earned an international reputation for excellence and reliability as a provider of prevention services in the area of alcohol and other drugs. Founded in 1977 by Thomas J. Gleaton, Jr., Ed.D. and Marsha Keith Schuchard, Ph.D., PRIDE began as a parents organization and went on to expand its base to serve youth. The organization has evolved into what is now known as PRIDE Youth Programs.

A vision. A plan. Solutions. PRIDE Youth Programs focuses the energy of young people who can create real solutions to build a safe & drug-free world. Parents, adults and community members offer guidance and support to serious teams of youth dedicated to making a difference. PRIDE youth programs are exciting, fun and an important part of growing up for thousands of young people.

The Bulloch Alcohol and Drug Council provides intervention classes for students who have violated Board of Education alcohol/drug policies and for young people from the court system who are on probation for underage drinking, DUI, or similar offenses. The council also provides chemical dependency education at the Regional Youth Development Center in Claxton, Georgia.
