Fairfax USA Gap Year Fair 2023

***PRE-REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED, BUT WALK-INS ARE WELCOME!***

If you didn't get a chance to preregister, we recommend that you arrive 10 minutes before the start time to register at the door.

Welcome all students, parents & educators:

Join us in person at this year’s gap year fair for a Gap Year 101 presentation (and more!) to get the most up-to-date information about planning a gap year.

Whether you're dreaming of Spanish language immersion in Costa Rica, rock climbing in the American Southwest, or pursuing a virtual internship from the comfort of your living room, there are so many gap year options to choose from!

Learn the ins and outs of gap year planning from an expert gap year counselor, then speak directly to gap year program representatives, counselors, and gap year alumni at the fair. Both gap year counselors and gap year program providers will be available to speak with you directly and answer any questions you might have, like:

• Who takes a gap year?
• What gap year experiences might be the right fit for me?
• When should I start planning my gap year?
• Where can I actually go during my gap year?
• Why are so many students taking gap time during COVID?

Event Format:

• 6:30-7:15 PM EST - Gap Year 101 (presentation + Q&A)
• 7:15-9:00 PM EST - Gap Year Fair**
