“Every high school counselor should be a member of GYA. I attended the 2019 Annual Gap Year Conference and enlarged my network with other high school counselors, gap year consultants, and programs. I feel confident in providing resources to my students and their families. The money to attend the conference and become an annual member is worth every penny.”
