The Source: A Boys and Girls Club is the fiscal agent for the Youth Service Support Group that serves the Lake Traverse Reservation in both North and South Dakota. The population on the reservation is 10,840 residents.

2) train key personnel in SMART Moves programs to enhance the staff's ability to increase the recruitment of the target population;
3) increase the number of community partners in the Youth Service Support Network; and
4)increase public service announcements to the community on prevention initiatives.
