A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
One Gap Year participant, Nicole, shared this in her follow-up survey, after landing an internship with Peanuts (home of Snoopy) during her program: “I had felt stuck for a very long time, as a high school and then college drop out, no education, no skills, no experiences, I felt like I’d just end up working in fast food or something similar my whole life and wouldn’t ever find a job that was actually fulfilling. Gap Year really changed my life, and I don’t say that without meaning. I just had little to no hope for the future whatsoever. Now, I feel like I can do literally anything I want to. I have built a lot of skills, learned a lot of things that translate well with what I want to do, and I feel much more confident in my abilities.”
