Consent and character education for your teenage son, and the words to keep talking at home.
The G-Code by Gentlemen's Factory is a live, small-group virtual program for boys in grades 7–12 and for the parents raising them. Your son learns what consent really means, how to handle peer pressure, and how to speak up when a friend crosses a line. You learn how to start the conversation and keep it going.

You don't need the perfect talk. You need an ongoing one.
Most parents know they should talk with their sons about consent, parties, alcohol and group chats. Far fewer know how to start, what to say when he shrugs, or how to keep the conversation going after the first awkward attempt.
The G-Code gives your son a structured place to learn these skills with other young men his age, led by adults who do this work every week. It gives you a parallel track built for parents, so the language he learns on Tuesday is the language you use at the dinner table on Friday.
We don't shame boys. We prepare them. The program is preventive and practical: it treats your son as a young man capable of good judgment and gives him the tools to use it.
What your son is facing, and what he'll practice.
A 13-year-old and an 18-year-old need different conversations, so the G-Code never puts them in the same room.
Junior High: respect and boundaries
Boys this age are forming habits around respect, personal space and online behavior before high school pressure peaks. The junior high cohort is age-appropriate and not explicit.
- Boundaries and asking permission in friendships, sports, family and dating
- Digital respect: group chats, photos, "just joking" and screenshots
- Peer pressure role-play and how to tell a trusted adult
- Handling rejection, anger and embarrassment
6 weeks · 60 minutes · Tuesdays, 6:30 pm ET · Nov 3 – Dec 15
High School: consent, courage and campus readiness
High schoolers are entering parties, relationships, team culture and, for juniors and seniors, college decisions. Grades 9–10 and 11–12 meet in separate cohorts.
- Consent that is clear, freely given, ongoing and can be withdrawn, and why alcohol and incapacitation change everything
- Reading the room at parties and building a personal Party Plan
- Bystander intervention, practiced until the words come naturally
- How campus conduct processes and the law work, from a guest expert
6 weeks · 75 minutes · Grades 9–10 Wednesdays, grades 11–12 Thursdays, 7:00 pm ET

Parent + Son Combo
Your son joins his age cohort and you join the parent cohort. You finish together at the Family Capstone on Saturday, December 19, where he presents his personal G-Code and your family signs a Family Agreement. The lessons stick because you're speaking the same language at home.
Not ready to enroll?
Start with the free parent workshop, "The Talk Before Campus," a live 45-minute session with Jeff Lindor on Tuesday, October 20 at 8:00 pm ET. Register free, or read our parent's guide to talking with your son about consent.
Specific tools, not a single lecture.
His personal G-Code
Five lines he writes, refines and presents to his peers, printed on a wallet card.
A Party Plan
Who he's with, how he gets home, his exit line, and his check-in.
"Hard sentences"
Practiced scripts for stepping in, so courage doesn't depend on improvising.
A family plan
Conversation scripts by age and, for combo families, a signed Family Agreement.
From first click to first session.

Live virtual education, wherever you live.
Gentlemen's Factory is based in Brooklyn, New York, and has developed men and boys there since 2016. The G-Code is delivered entirely online, so families in New York, New Jersey, California, Georgia, Texas, Florida, Illinois and every other state can enroll, subject to cohort availability. Sessions are scheduled in Eastern Time; please check the session times against your own time zone before reserving.
Before you enroll.
Where can I enroll my teenage son in a consent education program?
You can enroll online at gentlemensfactory.com/gcode. The G-Code runs live virtual cohorts for boys in grades 7–8, 9–10 and 11–12, plus a parent cohort. Enrollment for the November 2026 cohorts closes October 30.
Are there online programs that teach boys about respect and boundaries?
Yes. The G-Code junior high cohort focuses on respect, boundaries, asking permission, digital respect and standing up for others, in an age-appropriate, non-explicit way. The high school cohorts go deeper on consent, alcohol, parties and campus conduct.
Is the content appropriate for my son's age?
Young men are grouped by grade (7–8, 9–10, 11–12) so conversations match their stage. The junior high curriculum is not explicit. If you have specific questions, ask in your reservation or join the free parent workshop first.
Will my son have to share personal experiences?
No. Sessions use scenarios, role-play and discussion rather than personal disclosures. Weekly family recaps describe what was covered, never what any individual said.
Who leads the sessions, and are they recorded?
Jeff Lindor, founder of Gentlemen's Factory, leads every session, with a licensed clinician co-facilitating every student session. Student sessions are never recorded, cameras stay on, and two adults are present at all times. Read more on our About & Safety page.
What does it cost?
Pricing appears as soon as you complete the short form on the G-Code page. Every option can be paid in three installments, and a limited number of sponsored scholarship seats are available.
Is this therapy?
No. The G-Code is preventive education, not therapy, counseling or legal advice. If your family needs clinical or legal support, our team will point you to qualified professionals.
