Help us ensure all young people across Canada can pave their own unique path, without financial barriers holding them back from success.

The Canadian Gap Year Association Inc. is a registered Canadian non-profit. We operate on a small budget and rely heavily on grants, sponsorship, membership fees and partnerships to sustain our operation. As is true with most non-profit organizations with greater societal impact, finances are our primary barrier to achieving our mission.

Here’s how you can support students and young adults across Canada:
