Look Beyond the Classroom

FCPS School Counseling Services and Go Overseas invite you to attend this year's Gap Year Fair to learn about the growing array of gap year opportunities.  The fair will provide students with a broad exposure to gap year programs that emphasize experiential education and personal growth through travel, language immersion, directed study, outdoor adventure, community service, and internships.

The fair begins with a featured speaker who will present a variety of possibilities students might choose to pursue during their gap time.  During the fair, attendees will be able to have face to face conversations with gap year program providers, trip leaders, advisors, and gap year alumni.  Attendees will gain a better sense of which gap year programs might suit their own unique interests and aspirations.
