Meet our Gap Year Consultants

Our EF Gap Year Consultants work full-time helping students and their families plan their dream gap years.

What is your Gap Year Consultant's goal?

What are your Gap Year Consultant's responsibilities?

• Conduct conversations with students and families to understand their goals for a gap experience, determine whether a gap is the right fit, and then dive into planning a life-changing, custom gap program
• Work in tandem with Program Operations to confirm destination availability and appropriate challenge level for each module
• Collaborate on funding plans by sharing strategies that have been successful for past students, discussing fundraising and scholarship opportunities, and providing clarity on our payment plans
• Gather necessary enrollment information like housing choices, dietary restrictions, and making a plan, if necessary for college deferral
• Share student and family profile with their assigned Program Advisor to ensure a smooth transition from the enrollment process to the program stage
• Host regular virtual webinars for prospective students that shed light on program intricacies of the program

Will your Gap Year Consultant always be your point person at EF?

Your Gap Year Consultant will always be available for questions—some of our Consultants are still in touch with alumni and their families—but once you enroll in the program, your Program Advisor will be your main point of contact.
