Gap Year GPS Programs
CanGap's signature gap year support and accountability program
Get connected to other Canadian gappers, an amazing gap year coach and tools & resources to make sure this year isn't wasted by being idle.
​Gap years are definitely the road less traveled and it can be hard to find the answers to all of your questions. It can also feel isolating if you are the only one you know who is bold enough to choose the gap year pathway.
While you know this year is full of potential, there is lots of fear about wasting time, not making friends and missing out on some amazing opportunities. That is why we built Gap Year GPS.
All GPS programs are designed to be your gap year support & community and require a commitment of 1 hour/week. All programs start mid-September and include:
Connection to other gappers from across the country​
1:1 gap year coaching with a mentor who understands you
Helpful workshops to level up, develop new skills and become more independent​
Connections to resources, mentors, programs and activities to make your gap year count​
Support in getting a job (we can't guarantee it, but we will help!)
While Gap Year GPS is customized to your journey, we want to make sure we get it right. That's why we have 3 streams of GPS. Which one is your best fit?
