Writing prompts & templates
Story starters for youth and caregivers, plus letter and journal templates for family connection.
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 (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
