What can you do?

Some choose to lounge around at home, temp for a while or go off backpacking. While this can be fun, will it really allow you to reach your future goals? If you are willing to rise to the challenge of one or more of the many well-structured Year-Out opportunities on offer you can learn to live in a new environment and deal with the unexpected. You can demonstrate your sustained commitment and cannot fail to develop the personal skills and experience that will stand you in good stead for many years to come. Doing something constructive does not mean having to compromise having fun, you can do both and still have that sense of achievement.

Options open to you include:
Being a volunteer in the UK or Overseas
Living abroad on a Cultural Exchange
Participating in an Expedition
Joining a structured work experience opportunity
Learning a new skill on a Course in the UK or Overseas

How long can I go for?
The duration of your 'gap year' can last from a few weeks to one whole year.

Where can I go?
Almost anywhere that you want. It can be in the UK or the world.
