Culturally Immersive Gap Year Semester in Panama

Spend your gap year immersed in the local culture of Bocas del Toro, Panama! Volunteers will have the opportunity to volunteer with Give & Surf's educational programs and extracurricular activities, learn Spanish, work side-by-side with our local team, and enjoy everything that the Bocas islands have to offer! This is the perfect experience for recent graduates or college students who are taking a semester or year off and want to have a meaningful, life-changing experience abroad. Volunteers can pick the educational programs they assist with based on their interests and skills. Participants will have a balance between structured activities with free time to explore the beautiful Bocas islands and enjoy surfing, snorkeling, spearfishing, hiking, beach trips & more! Many of our gap year students have also received academic credit for their time!
