A.G. Gaston Boys & Girls Clubs 60th Anniversary
For 60 years, the A.G. Gaston Boys & Girls Clubs (AGGBGC) has “provided a safe, supportive environment where young people can learn, grow and realize their full potential.”
Through multiple Club sites across Greater Birmingham, AGGBGC offers programs focused on:

These programs continue the vision of Dr. A.G. Gaston to enable young minds and become responsible and caring citizens.
Someone else who has made themselves known for playing a pivotal role in young people’s lives: Jalen Hurts. He and his team at the Jalen Hurts Foundation encourage youth to “execute their purpose,” and do so through creating and pouring into local opportunities for them.
The AGGBGC invited Hurts to be a part of their 60th Anniversary celebration. Here are the details:

According to the AGGBGC, the fireside chat will connect legacy leadership with today’s role models and the ongoing “Gaston Blueprint” for future generations.
“Celebrating 60 years is both a reflection of our past and a commitment to our future. Having Jalen Hurts join us for this milestone event is an honor. His story mirrors the values we’ve championed for decades—grit, discipline, and heart.”
