About Program

In the seaside town of Jeffreys Bay, the surfing capital of South Africa, students have come from around the world to equip themselves, and experience the transformative power of God. VGY is a gap year like no other, offering you a uniquely South African experience; providing a healthy environment for you to learn about life, leadership, community and servanthood. This is the year for you to establish your identity in Christ and build a solid, Biblical foundation into your life, while developing your leadership and character. All gap year programs offer ‘adventure’ and ‘volunteerism’. As do we. But where VGY is different – we also have a strong track record of success at setting people up for a life of purpose and significance. There are gaps in your game that we will help you fill to realise your full potential and purpose. We have 3 VGY "streams" for you to choose from: Leadership Stream, Media Stream, Worship Stream. Each stream has its own unique stream specific curriculum.

My year.

All I can do is say thank you to God for giving me the opportunity to be apart of something so wonderful. Victory Gap Year taught me maltiple lessons that I will keep for the rest of my life, and I will forever be grateful for that. I met life time friends and inspiring leaders. I recommend this Gap year and will encourage everyone and anyone to do it. I feel it’s important to allow God to speak into your life before you head off into this big, confused world, and that’s what VGY allowed us to do, to find our identity is God and His purpose for our lives

What would you improve about this program?
VGY is improving on a yearly basis, so I’m excited to see just how much it continues to grow and get better.

One Year exchanged for a lifetime

My gap year in 2014 was definitely a defining year for me, a year which played a massive role in who I am today and where I am today. The Victory Gap Year is a year, if you choose to engage fully, shape, change and challenge your thinking about life and what you are designed for. I would encourage participants to serve where you can serve, to participate completely otherwise your time will be wasted. As in life, what you put in, thats what you will get out from it.

I LOVED my Gap Year

I made lifelong friends, got to visit different parts of the country with them and had the privilege of finding myself in a safe Kingdom environment where I was loved and encouraged through my processes! I loved every second of my year and if I could go back I would do it all over again!

In my Second Year, I did the Media stream and I am incredibly grateful for that as what they taught me has allowed me to get the job I have now and the one before it! If you are willing to learn you will come out equipped and ready to take on the work world - what you put in is what you will get out!
