In January 2009, GFC partnered with the Center for Digital Storytelling to offer a digital media and storytelling workshop to youth of The YP Foundation, a GFC grantee partner. The goal of the workshop was to give youth the tools to document best practices used by grassroots groups and to provide youth with a medium through which they are able to express and share their own perspectives. The trainings focused on the technical aspects of video editing and the creative elements of digital storytelling and photography.
