About Program
Join Howl for a life changing three-month long Gap Semester exploring the Canadian Rockies. Based in the stunning town of Canmore, Alberta, we are only a short distance from the gates of Banff National Park. During the program, participants will be exposed to a plethora of career options while simultaneously building their skills, leadership capacity and emotional and physical resiliency.
Over the semester, participants will learn skills for a sustainable life, gain volunteer experience, receive entrepreneurship training and truly become immersed in a Rockies community. Participants will learn from some of Canada's most outstanding educators and local Indigenous Knowledge Keepers.
Leave the program with a new family, home and the skills and knowledge to make a positive change in the world.
