Irish Gap Year

Irish Gap Year offers transformative experiences for young adults seeking adventure, cultural immersion, and personal growth. Based in Ireland with travel across Europe, our programs blend structured group living with the freedom to explore independently. Participants can choose from several unique paths:

• Adventure & Leadership develops resilience, teamwork, and confidence through outdoor challenges along Ireland’s rugged west coast.
• Arts & Culture fosters creativity and self-expression while engaging deeply with Ireland’s vibrant traditions, communities, and landscapes.
• Internship combines professional work placements in Dublin or Donegal with cultural exchange and European travel, offering valuable career experience.
• European Expedition channels the spirit of backpacking across the continent, emphasising independence, curiosity, and cultural IQ.

Across all programs, students live and learn within a supportive cohort, gaining independence, lifelong friendships, and the confidence to navigate the world with an open mind.
