What if a single community center could change the future for hundreds of kids? That’s exactly what the Huntsville Learning Center is doing.

I’m sitting down with Ray Allister, the executive director, to talk about the great work they’re doing for kids in Huntsville, Alabama.

The center runs after-school and summer programs to help kids succeed both in and out of the classroom. We also dive into real issues like income gaps and why community support matters. 

We discussed:

How a local center is changing the game for Huntsville's youth

The challenges today’s kids face (and what we can do about it)

How you can make a real impact in your community

Breaking down barriers to education for every kid

Why this work matters and how you can be part of it
