SERIOUSLY, NO STRINGS.

Our director’s main goal is to empower people who work here and love them well. We extend that empowerment to those who are in the process of trying to decide if our Gap Year Program is the best choice for them.

We want you to bring your best self to your interview. Often anxiety during an interview can hinder your best self from showing up.

We want you to feel confident and prepared, so we’re giving away 3 of our interview questions and 5 qualities we’re looking for while we interview,

no strings attached.

 FAQs

They are ready to work hard with resilient joy, grow alongside a once-in-a-lifetime community, and humbly challenge themselves while discerning their next phase of life.

  • First of all, you can ALWAYS start and save your work for later! Hooray!
