Hope isn't a plan. Preparation is.
On CBS Mornings, Jeff Lindor joined a national conversation about how we talk to young men about consent and peer pressure. Parents kept asking the same question: who is actually teaching our sons this before they leave home?
The G-Code is Gentlemen's Factory's answer. G is for Gentlemen, and every young man in the program writes and presents his own personal code for how he'll treat people, read situations and act when it counts. It's preventive, hopeful and practical. We don't shame boys; we prepare them.
Consent
What it means, clearly: legally, ethically and in real life, including how alcohol changes everything.
Courage
Practiced, word-for-word scripts for stepping in when a friend, a teammate or a group chat crosses a line.
Awareness
Read the room, have a plan, know when to leave. Parties, rides, phones and digital footprints.
Character
He writes, presents and commits to his own personal G-Code, and a pod of peers holds him to it.
Four cohorts. Ten seats each.
Every cohort meets live on Zoom, once a week, with cameras on. Young men are grouped by age so a 13-year-old and an 18-year-old are never in the same conversation.
Parent + Son Combo
Your son joins his age cohort and you join the parent cohort. Then you attend the Family Capstone together on Saturday, Dec 19, where he presents his G-Code and you sign your family agreement. The lessons stick because you're speaking the same language at home.
No sessions Thanksgiving week. Payment plans and sponsored scholarship seats are available.

Questions parents ask.
Is the content age-appropriate for junior high students?
Yes. The junior high cohort focuses on respect, boundaries, asking permission, digital respect and standing up for others. It is not explicit. The high school cohorts go deeper on consent, alcohol, parties and campus conduct, and grades 9–10 and 11–12 meet separately.
Who leads the sessions?
Jeff Lindor, founder of Gentlemen's Factory, leads every session. A licensed clinician co-facilitates every student session, and guest experts join for specific topics.
Are sessions recorded?
Student sessions are never recorded. Cameras stay on, and two adults are present at all times.
What if my son misses a session?
Attending 5 of 6 sessions plus submitting a final G-Code earns the certificate. If he misses a week, his facilitator sends a short catch-up assignment.
Do you offer payment plans or scholarships?
Yes. Every option can be paid in three installments, and a limited number of sponsored scholarship seats are available. Ask about either in your reservation.
Is this therapy or counseling?
No. The G-Code is a preventive education program. If your family needs clinical or legal support, our team will point you to the right professionals.
