Why Take a Gap Year?
There are many reasons why more students than ever are choosing to take an intentional Gap Year:
- Burn out from school
- Stress & anxiety
- Confusion about career & educational options
- The rising costs of college
- Fear of student loan debt
- The need to discover who you are before committing to a path
- The uncertain economy and the need for better financial preparation
A Gap Year can be a valuable tool to help re-orient your journey to success. Statistics show that taking a Gap Year after high school can produce impactful results on your life, educational pursuits, and career prospects. Graduates who engage in intentional Gap Year programs report more clarity, confidence, maturity, and motivation.
Afraid that a Gap Year will cause you to "fall behind" or never return to school? Research has shown that 90% of students who take an intentional Gap Year return to pursue further higher education and they do so with more direction, purpose, focus and drive. They are also more likely to graduate and to maintain higher GPAs in their post-secondary studies than students who do not take a Gap Year.

Meet "Lucas"
"Lucas" is 19 years old and has always been a hard worker and never felt that the college path was right for him. He's been working and earning money, but doesn't have a clear direction yet for his career. He lives with his parents, but is yearning for a place of his own, but the cost of living is making it difficult for him. He could use some guidance, financial training, and a group of friends to do life with while he figures out his next steps.
