The Intentional Gap

Erica of the Intentional Gap is a fantastic resource for any family with a young person planning a gap year. She’s organized, warm, friendly, approachable, down to earth and a wealth of resources. Our son benefited immensely from her expertise and connections and we would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone considering a gap year consultant. With her first tier of support our son received options for volunteer opportunities in Europe as well as fun, educational opportunities that were in line with this interests. Erica was also able to connect our son to a month long wilderness Outward Bound opportunity that was an incredible experience for him. We highly recommend bringing Erica onto your gap year planning team!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Erica Vaughn to design a gap year program for our son. I must say, I couldn't imagine doing this on our own. The process was complex and required a lot of planning and coordination, but Erica made it seem effortless.

What impressed me the most was her knowledge and expertise. She had an answer for every question we threw at her, no matter how complicated or obscure. It was clear that she had a deep understanding of the process and was well-prepared to guide us through it.

Moreover, Erica's creativity and flexibility were truly commendable. As the various components of the trip changed, she was able to adapt quickly and come up with new solutions. She was not only able to accommodate these changes but also used them as opportunities to enhance the overall experience.

Our experience with Erica Vaughn was nothing short of exceptional. Her professionalism, knowledge, and adaptability made the process of planning a gap year program really easy. We wouldn't hesitate to use her services again for our daughter. We highly recommend Erica to any parent looking to create a meaningful and well-planned gap year program for their child.
