Gap Years in North America
The United States of America and Canada have always been viewed as a land of opportunity. Close ties with the UK, combined with the dominance of the English language, means that gap year course providers offer a good range of gap year opportunities in North America. You will need to decide whether you want to stay and work in one place, or travel around in order to see as much of the continent as possible.
For those who want some action and adventure on their North American gap year, why not try a mountain biking course or train as a ski instructor and work a season at one of the top resorts in Canada. Work on a ranch in the USA, or help out as a community volunteer in a school, or wildlife centre. The choices are endless.
