Taking a gap year is
common practice in Europe. Rather than going straight to college, students
take a year off to travel abroad, explore special interests or volunteer
to help others. This trend is growing in the United States, with many students
taking time off before, during or after college. The Center for Interim Programs is a consulting service that helps young people find meaningful gap year placements. Since our inception in 1980 as the first organization of its kind in the United States, Interim has designed creative gap year opportunities for over 5,000 young people. We have built relationships with organizations worldwide and offer a database of over 5,200 program opportunities. We work one-on-one with clients to identify programs that match their interests, needs and goals. We guide them through the process of identifying opportune Interim year programs, securing placements and outlining ways to make the most of this unique opportunity. Please explore our site and learn more about the Center for Interim Programs and our gap year program opportunities. Or, contact us at (609) 683-4300. The Center for Interim Programs has offices in Princeton, New Jersey and Cambridge, Massachusetts. Frequently Asked Questions: Is an Interim program experience for me?
