Options for a GAP Year Overseas
A great way to travel the world and gain valuable lifelong learning.
Applications are open for the 2020 Lattitude Global volunteering program.
With over 20% of first year university students in Australia leaving their chosen course or dropping out altogether, maybe it's a good idea to step off the academic treadmill and consider your goals before diving in. There are so many benefits to taking a gap year - independence, confidence, career experience, and cultural awareness are just a few! Volunteering can really give you an edge before and after university.
