Community Impact

A Gentleman in Every Room

Green Ties doesn't just teach gentlemanly conduct in the classroom — we live it. Founder Jon Green recently represented Green Ties at the Celebrating Brentwood Gala, hosted by the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce, one of Northern California's most respected community organizations since 1952.

Dressed in classic black tie with the signature green lapel pin, Jon embodies the very principles he teaches our young men: show up with purpose, carry yourself with dignity, and represent something bigger than yourself. From the classroom to the gala, the Green Ties standard never drops.

These are the rooms our students will walk into one day — and they'll be ready.
