Gap Year Abroad: Is this an option for College-bound Student

To avoid burnout from high school to college, an increasing number of students are taking a gap year. Interestingly, colleges such as Harvard, MIT, and Princeton even encourage incoming freshmen to defer their matriculation. There are a number of ways that students may decide to spend their gap year. Our show today will discuss gap year volunteer programs. If you are considering a gap year experience, join us as we talk with Andrew MacKenzie and Anna Walker of Africa & Asia Venture, based in England. They will share how students may benefit from such an experience and what families need to know before pursuing this type of gap year program.
