Gap Students
Picture yourself abroad:
Navigating a new neighborhood, a new city, a new country on your own. Tackling language coursework by morning and volunteering with friends at a local charity in the afternoon. Picture yourself gathering for a meal with the host family that has welcomed you into their home and helped integrate you into their community. Picture yourself on a Gap Year Abroad with CIEE.
With the demands of AP courses, extracurricular activities, part-time jobs, sports, and more, it’s not uncommon to feel somewhat burnt out after graduation. A CIEE Gap Year Abroad—whether spent studying Spanish in Chile or volunteering for a worthy nonprofit—can provide a break in routine and the perspective you may need to refocus and succeed in college and beyond.
Taking a gap year is a big step. It’s a decision that requires a willingness to challenge yourself and can provide you with an amazing opportunity to grow and experience the world on your own.
