About Program
Learn all of the stuff they don't teach you in college through this 40-day summer gap year experience, or three-month fall semester program. You'll meet your group in the exciting, musical city of Nashville for a week of bonding and self-discovery before challenging yourself in the backcountry of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Settle in to an internship with a Nashville area company in a field of your choosing and then journey to Ecuador to learn about local cultures and perspectives in Cuenca and study sustainable development in the Galapagos. Finally, return to Nashville to close out the experience and forge a path toward college and career.
