Questions to consider with your student as they prepare for a gap year: • What are the financial implications? Will you have financial support or should you work for a bit to save money for the program? • What is your desired structure of a gap year program? • What support do you need in place during this experience? The Gap Year Association recommends having mentors and people you can communicate with to discuss the experience and work through problems that may arise. • If you are leaving home, will it be your first time living away? Are you comfortable with that, especially if the program is international?
Worried about traveling due to COVID?
The Gap Year Association has seen an uptick in online and domestic gap year attendance in response to the pandemic. Program options include: • Global Citizen Year Academy offers a 12-week semester online in leadership development. • TEFLPros is a digital gap program providing certification to teach English as a foreign language. • Worldwide Opportunities on Organic
Farms (WWOOF) provides programs domestically and worldwide to learn about organic and ecological farming practices.
