Gap Year Resources
A "gap year" typically refers to a period of time, usually a year, that a person takes off between major life stages such as finishing high school and starting college, or between completing an undergraduate degree and pursuing further education or entering the workforce. During a gap year, individuals often engage in a variety of activities such as traveling, volunteering, gaining work experience, or pursuing personal interests.
Gap years can be beneficial for personal growth, gaining life experience, and developing new skills. They can also provide opportunities for self-discovery and reflection before embarking on the next phase of life. Many people find that a gap year allows them to explore their interests, gain valuable experiences, and make more informed decisions about their future educational or career paths.
