The WGA is committed to nurturing the next generation of writers and has been providing specialized programming for young writers since 1996. Our programming for youth ages 12-19 currently includes the WordsWorth Summer Youth Writing Residency, Drink the Wild Air Winter Writing Retreat, and teen writing groups in Edmonton and Calgary. More information about these programs is available in our youth section, which also provides resources aimed at young writers and a blog about writing opportunities and events for youth.
