Thank you for your interest in joining the Youth Editorial Advisory Panel (YEAP) for NorthWord - The Next Generation. YEAP members will help shape the publication by sharing ideas, helping choose themes, and reviewing creative submissions from youth across the Wood Buffalo region.

​

We are looking for thoughtful, curious youth ages 14-18 who are interested in creativity, storytelling, art, or big ideas. No previous publishing or editorial experience is required.​ The application should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete and consists of a few short questions to help us get to know you better.

​

Please read the YEAP Guidelines before applying. 

Applications close on June 5, 2026.

We look forward to learning more about you!
