This past week, our team traveled to Montgomery, Alabama to support Ethan Taylor, proudly representing AGGBGC as our 2026 Youth of the Year, at the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) Alabama Statewide Youth of the Year Competition.

During the ceremonial breakfast, Ethan delivered a powerful and heartfelt speech that resonated throughout the room, highlighting his leadership, confidence, and personal growth. Competing against nominees from 13 Boys & Girls Clubs across the state, Ethan placed 4th overall, leaving a lasting impression on judges and attendees alike with his message and presence.

We are incredibly proud of the way Ethan represented AGGBGC on the statewide stage and inspired others through his words and actions. His achievement reflects not only his dedication and character, but also the impact of the Club experience.

Congratulations to Ethan Taylor, AGGBGC’s 2026 Youth of the Year, for this outstanding accomplishment and for continuing to serve as a positive role model for his peers and our community.
