What is the CTG Educational Program?

The CTG Educational Program is a 12-week transformative curriculum designed to empower youth and young adults through storytelling, mindset development, leadership training, and financial literacy. Built on the principles of resilience, identity, and action, CTG guides students in rewriting their narrative and taking control of their future.

Developed by author and educator T.M. Jefferson, the CTG Program was born from lived experience. After overcoming cycles of incarceration, systemic exclusion, and personal transformation, Jefferson created CTG to ensure others could access the tools he never had—frameworks for healing, growth, and self-empowerment.
