Congratulations to our incredible Student Ambassadors! 👏🌟

These phenomenal high schoolers spent 7 months developing their leadership. Inspired by the idea of storytelling through advocacy, they planned and hosted a powerful community event called “Increase Empathy. Create Change.”

They led with passion, excitement, and joy–and we couldn’t be prouder!

We wrapped up the year with a beautiful celebration alongside their loved ones, honoring all the hard work and heart they poured into this journey.

To our Ambassadors: Thank you for your curiosity, commitment, and brilliance. We can’t wait to see all the incredible things you’ll go on to do. And remember, your CTG Community will always be cheering you on. ❤️
