MFGP Hub · Storytelling Resources
Tools for telling your story safely.
Storytelling is how MFGP started, and how families are believed. These resources help youth ages 12–24 including justice-impacted youth (Opportunity Youth / TAY), caregivers, and organizations share stories with agency and care — through writing, video, and art — without turning a person into a case study.
What’s in this collection
Video & interview tools
Interview question banks, release language, and simple production checklists for phone-shot stories.
Consent & care guidance
How to decide what to share, what to hold back, and how to revisit consent as a young person grows.

Our consent-and-care standards
- A young person's story belongs to the young person, not the program
- Consent is revisited, never assumed from a single signature
- Nobody has to relive the hardest day to be believed
- Anonymity and pseudonyms are valid, respected choices
- Support is arranged before a story is told, not after
