Gap YEAR Programs

Volunteer and Adventure Travel For Students Beyond High School

Gap Year is an expression that refers to taking time out from university, further education or work. It is a time when young adults enhance their studies and career development by stepping out to discover more about themselves and the world. Many students take a Gap Year between graduating high school and starting university; some take this break before starting full- time work. Gap Years can be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to venture off on your own, build your independence, learn new skills, and challenge yourself before buckling down to further education or work. A Gap Year often includes time spent volunteering, travelling, working and/or exploring new countries. Rustic Pathways offers three types of programs for Gap Year students aged 18 to 23.
