About Program

The Food Gap is the first Gap year program for food-lovers and creative young adults. We believe learning about food is the best way to absorb the history and culture of a new place, so we spend the semester eating, learning from local chefs and cooks, and cooking for our group. The semester culminates in a group-made cookbook. Over the semester, you'll make friends for life, unleash your creativity with recipe making, food photography, and taking cooking classes. You'll also give back by volunteering on farms, at food banks, and with local families.

This program is currently not being promoted on Go Overseas by its provider. Check with The Food Gap for the most up-to-date information regarding the status of this program.
