The MFGP Hub: resources that meet families where they are.

The MFGP Hub is where we keep every resource, guide, toolkit, and lesson we share with families. It connects youth ages 12–24 including justice-impacted youth, caregivers, returning parents, partners, and funders to trusted organizations, tools, and guidance — with every outside source credited to the organization that produced it.

How we source our resources

How we source our resources: MFGP curates and links to the organizations and agencies that produce the underlying information, and credits each one with the date we last verified it. Anything MFGP wrote is labeled as MFGP-authored. We never present another organization's research as our own.

This is general information and practice guidance — not legal advice, mental-health treatment, or a statement of any court, agency, or facility's rules. Policies differ by state, county, facility, school, and program, so always confirm details with the office involved.

Partner with MFGP

Let's build stronger pathways—together.
