Description: Are you thinking about taking a break from your formal education trajectory, work or training? Do you want to broaden your horizons and experience different cultures, people and places, and gain additional professional and personal skills?

A Gap Year Program might be exactly what you are looking for and Ecuador is quite possibly the perfect place to start since it offers a huge variety of social and cultural activities. It provides a break from the day-to-day and the normal routines of life. We have a great variety of programs that can satisfy almost all the necessities about professional internships, voluntary work and teaching abroad, or only learn Spanish in Ecuador.

Taking a gap year is common practice in Europe. Rather than going straight to college, students take a year off to travel abroad, explore special interests or volunteer to help others. A Gap Year Abroad with ELEP offers college-bound graduates an opportunity to acquire a broader global perspective, foster independence and gain self-knowledge.

A Gap Year Abroad opens doors to the student's future, bridging the high school world to the road that lies ahead. Our programs are designed for students who want to live in another country and enjoy a unique experience overseas.

Take a year out to teach, volunteer, intern or study Spanish in Ecuador - South America. Your experience never will be complete if you do not visit Ecuador.

Highlights: The benefits of a Gap Year will enable students to enhance their global education and uniquely prepare them for their college experience. We work one-on-one with clients to identify programs that match their interests, needs and goals.
