All Gap Year Programs | 2021-2022

What should I do with my gap year?

If you are looking for inspiration on where to spend your gap year, you can rely on Gapforce to have something that will excite you. Gapforce has carefully selected gap year programs around the world since 1989, providing a variety of gap years abroad and gap year volunteer programs for experiences in wildlife conservation, outdoor training courses and once-in-a-lifetime adventures across the far corners of the world. 

Thrilling locations...

From the snowy heights of Everest Base Camp to the heat of the African plain, turquoise waters of Thailand and humid jungles of Costa Rica and India, there is a truly diverse range of thrilling locations. The hardest part will be choosing where to go. If you need help deciding, read our gap year advice resources which explore the possibilities that gap years can open to you.

Is there a gap year program that’s right for me?

The world is beautiful because it is varied, and our range of gap year options reflects this. The diversity of a gap year abroad means there really is something for everyone — follow your instincts:

• For those looking for experience in marine conservation take a look at our gap year in Costa Rica.

• If you want to combine travel with adventure on your gap year abroad — snorkel, sail, ride off-road and surf through your gap year in Australia.

• Perhaps you are conscious that you want to spend time helping a worthy cause, in which case our summer volunteer programs will inspire you.

The world may be on hold... but that doesn't mean you should be!

We know you’re itching to start travelling and exploring the world again, and we’re equally determined to resume running our overseas programs as soon as is humanly possible! In the meantime, while we wait for borders to reopen, check out our UK programs for an outdoor fix closer to home.
