About
Accredited by the Gap Year Association, our Gap Program provides unparalleled cultural immersion and leadership experiences for high school graduates. You’ll complete an internship with a local organization, and live with a host family for your entire stay, becoming part of the community and learn what it's like to live abroad. You'll work to craft and implement a sustainable service project. With fellow volunteers, you'll go on excursions to must-see spots! And you'll have the adventure of a lifetime exploring a new country.
