I'm interested in learning more about the different gap year programs available, including options both in and out of the country. Where's a good place to start researching these programs?
Searching for the perfect gap year program can be quite an adventure in itself! There are numerous resources at your disposal to help you get started on your research.
One place to start is the website for Gap Year Association. They provide extensive, verified information on a wide array of both domestic and international gap year opportunities. They have directories for program providers, consultants, and even gap year friendly colleges.
Another place to turn your attention is Appily's gap year program search feature. It's a tool where you can filter programs by interest such as nature conservation, human rights, or language learning, among others.
Finally, reaching out to your high school or independent college counselor can be helpful - they often have a well of resources and might be able to provide guidance tailored to your specific interests and goals.
Remember, as you look into these options, focus not just on what sounds exciting, but also on what will help you grow as an individual and contribute to your future academic or career endeavors. Good luck with your search!
