The A. G. Gaston Boys & Girls Club (AGGBGC) is a youth club founded in 1966 by A. G. Gaston as an affiliate of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Its president and CEO, appointed in 2012, is Frank Adams Jr. In 2016 the organization served 1,800 youth from ages six to eighteen.

It is based at the Kirkwood R. Balton Clubhouse in West End (named for Gaston's long-time associate Kirkwood Balton), and also has programs at the Center for a New Generation at Hayes K-8 School, and in the Southtown Court public housing community. A fourth location has been proposed for the CrossPlex Village at Five Points West.
