Going Beyond: Immersive Gap Semester Abroad

If a full gap year feels like too much, consider our modified approach. These gap year opportunities are different from the more traditional, year-long options you might find elsewhere.

Each program covers a variety of areas. There is a mixture of humanitarian and conservation work, with plenty of sightseeing and adventure, so you get to experience a bit of everything. This is hugely valuable for students still figuring out what they really want to do, and those looking to spice up their gap year with variety!

International Gap Semesters are a hassle-free way to have meaningful and rewarding adventures. With dedicated staff supporting you all the way, and a flexible program built around experiential education and cultural immersion, rest assured that your trip will create memories to last a lifetime. 

Each of our gap semester programs is between 6-10 weeks. You can participate in a standalone program or combine multiple semester options to create an extended adventure across the world. These modular programs are built to blend seamlessly together, taking you from South America to East Africa and beyond.

As the world gradually opens up and travel restrictions ease, it is becoming easier to plan ahead for your gap semester abroad.

All of the countries where we run our gap semester programs have been successful in curbing the spread of COVID-19. Now their economies are in need of volunteers and visitors to help support them.
