Family Frameworks announces Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs as official ambassador

Future NFL star to volunteer with nonprofit to help youth make healthy choices and navigate both the challenges and opportunities life presents

DALTON, Ga., March 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Family Frameworks, a leading provider of resources and support for teens in Dalton and the surrounding communities, has announced that star Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs has volunteered to become an official ambassador of the organization.

Recognized by many pundits as the top running back in April's NFL Draft, Gibbs, a native of Dalton, Georgia, is well-known for his quick acceleration and elusiveness on the field, as well as his commitment to giving back to the community.

By being an ambassador for Family Frameworks, Gibbs aims to support local youth in navigating the challenges and opportunities of life as they continue to develop in an ever-changing world. He will help provide resources and awareness to the mission of the organization. In addition, he will also participate in fundraisers and events, sharing his experiences and insights with the community to empower teens.

"I know from experience the challenges teens face, and I am excited to help them make good choices for their futures," said Gibbs. "You can look at my life and see I had obstacles to overcome, roadblocks that I did not allow to get me off course to reach my goals. With the help of my family, who is also my amazing support system, and positive influences like Family Frameworks, I learned to make great decisions, listen to advice, and overcome those obstacles. I hope other teens can follow my example and see that it is not the obstacles that are the problem, it is how we respond to those obstacles."

Family Frameworks is a local provider of resources and support for teens, offering practical and relevant information on topics such as how the teen brain works, abuse, bullying and suicide, healthy relationships, and healthy choices. Family Frameworks works hands-on with ninth-grade students in area high schools and the Boys and Girls clubs, teaching them how to look at the tools and resources around them to be set up for the most probable path to success.
