Associazione Centro Turistico Giovanile

Centro Turistico Giovanile (CTG), also known as Associazione Centro Turistico Giovanile, is an Italian nonprofit association. Its core mission centers on youth development and social initiatives inspired by Christian values. Operating as an educational association, it designs and delivers programs, activities, and services aimed at young people. These initiatives seek to foster personal growth, social cohesion, and community engagement among participants. The organisation’s headquarters is located in Italy, reflecting its national focus and operational base.

CTG distinguishes itself through its specialization in faith‑based youth work, setting it apart from secular youth organisations in the Italian nonprofit landscape. Its notable competency lies in creating community‑oriented projects that blend educational content with Christian‑inspired principles. As an association, CTG is governed by its members and operates without a parent company or subsidiary structure, relying on donations, volunteers, and partnerships. On December 28, 2022, the organisation was targeted by the Snatch ransomware group, which claimed responsibility for compromising its servers and exfiltrating data. The attack employed double extortion tactics, encrypting systems and threatening to publish stolen information unless a ransom was paid, and it disrupted CTG’s operations while the group listed the organisation on its leak site.
