Gapforce Gap Years

Travelling with Gapforce on your Gap Year

Gapforce was created so that we could offer a different type of gap year experience from the type that most companies provide. We wanted to allow people to explore new places, and take part in unique adventure opportunities. We now have more than twenty years experience.

Using an organisation such as GapForce can prevent you from falling into this nightmare. They have extensive experience which has been developed through nearly 25 years of volunteer feedback. Offering an expansive range of completely unique programs, which enable you to take part in projects and access areas of the World that would otherwise be unachievable on your own.

Going as part of a group with like minded individuals, gives you the chance to develop lifelong friends to share in your adventure and typically saves you money too! Most importantly, organisation like GapForce provide 24/7 support so if anything does go wrong, they have the facilities and personnel in place to be able to deal with any issues at all, including evacuation plans for the most extreme of circumstances.

Even before you have even started your trip, their staff are keeping you up to date with any changes as well as scouting and preparing the project in-country.

A UK briefing day is organised a few months before you start, giving you the chance to meet everyone going on your trip to ensure you are completely prepared for your upcoming expedition. This also gives you a complete understanding of what to expect whilst you're abroad.

Going at it alone is just an unnecessary risk and simply makes it impossible to get the most out of your travels. So to start planning a highlight of your life! Check out the GapForce website (www.gapforce.org) for a safe, unique, and incredible journey that you will remember forever.

What do Gapforce ex-crew members say?

Rachel Townsend, Thailand: "I had travelled to Australia before University completely on my own. It was amazing but very lonely at times. Going in a group with GapForce to Thailand this year was the opposite of my past experience! The trip was unbelievable and we have already had a reunion since coming home and I talk to the others all the time!"

Rory McAllen, Belize: "Going on a jungle Trek with GapForce was just incredible. I just felt that nothing could go wrong because I knew there was a fantastic medical team at my disposal."

Edd Hixson, Fiji: "Working as part of the survey team in the Fiji marine conservation project was everything I could have hoped for and more! I could never have contributed to such a worthwhile project in such an incredible place if it hadn't been for GapForce."
