When considering taking a year off most people do so: to get out of the routine of school, explore or just do something different; but, most people don't know that a gap year could actually change your life.
What about a gap year has the potential to change your life?
1. You will get the opportunity to discover who you are and the purpose for your life.
A huge heart of Denver Gap year is the time spent studying and learning who are actually are- where our identity lies. Time during the week will be spent diving into topics like these so you can find out who you are and what you were created to do with the gifts, and passions you have been given.
2. You will get to do new things you have never done before.
During the program you will get to go on outdoor adventures like camping trips, white water rafting, rock climbing, etc. where you will get to step out of your comfort zone. You will also get to volunteer with local charities and nonprofits in Denver that will allow you to meet people from all different backgrounds and walks of life.
3. The relationships you make will last a lifetime.
In a Gap Year you get the chance to live with people your age and in your same stage of life. You will get to navigate through this year together; experiencing new things, figuring out who you are, where you want to go in life. These experiences will bond you in a way that a normal year of life might not. You will spend the majority of your time with these people and only they will truly understand what this experience meant and was like after it is over.
4. You will gain new eyes for the world.
In getting to leave the country two times during the program, (once for a missions trip and once for a final debrief of the program) you will get to see people and things you may have never seen before. You will get to see the Lord’s huge heart for the world and different people groups, how different cultures live and so much more! The perspective you gain you will be able to take with you for the rest of your life and apply to how you see and interact with the world.
5. You will not leave the same person.
When you combine all these things together: living in close community, going to new places overseas, trying new things and pondering who we truly are while having the Lord be the center of it all, how could you not possibly be changed.
