It’s not just about gap years,
it’s about creating growth experiences.
While studies show that students who take a gap year or gap semester and then go to college actually have shorter times to graduation and higher GPAs than the average student, GapWell realizes we can co-create experiences together that are even more powerful.

Sample GapWell Experiences

Spending an irreplaceable five weeks in Kenya was the best part of my gap year and arguably my life. I loved learning about Kenyan culture along with volunteering in local communities and contributing to marine conservation. Most valuable were the lifelong friends I made from all over the world.
