Alumni community

Your EF Gap Year experience doesn’t end once your program ends—the lessons, insights, and discoveries will continue to shape you and your decisions deep into the future. And once you participate on an EF gap program, you join a vibrant community of EF Gap Year alumni. Whether you’re looking to take a gap before, during, or after college, there is an EF Gap experience for you. Meet a few of our stellar alumni who were in your shoes not too long ago, and hear how this experience has impacted them.

EF Gap Year Alumni Panels
