Publications

Ripple Effect’s Youth Literacy in Arts Program has been celebrating achievements by BC youth in creative writing and visual art for nearly two decades. The youth arts publications we have produced and partnered in, the Wordscapes Youth Arts Journal and Voices Visible, provide youth with an invaluable forum to creatively express their issues, hopes and worldviews and to have their work read and discussed by their peers in classrooms across the province.
