Our History

Building a Legacy of Fitness: Our beginning

The Byron Dorgan Youth Wellness Center (BDYWC) was founded in 2011 to promote healthy lifestyles in the Turtle Mountain area. Located in the heart of Belcourt, BDYWC has become a community hub for members to better their health and interact with one another in a safe space.

BDYWC is the one only of its kind within a 200-mile region. The facility was created through a loan from the United States Department of Agriculture and earmark discretional funding from Senator Byron Dorgan, who the center is named after.
