County leaders approve $15k contribution to BGCA youth program
Alice Echo News Journal
On Monday, March 8, Jim Wells County Commissioners approved a $15,000 contribution to the Boys and Girls Club of Alice (BGCA) to continue the SMART Moves program.
The youth program SMART Moves uses a team approach that involves club staff, peer leaders, parents and community representatives. Young people engage in discussion and role-playing, practicing resilience and refusal skills, developing assertiveness, strengthening decision-making skills and analyzing media and peer influence.
The ultimate goal is to promote abstinence from substance abuse and adolescent sexual involvement through the practice of responsible behavior.
