What if your gap year wasn’t just a pause, but a purpose-filled adventure?
Introducing the Gapless Gap Year, also known as Journey School – a brand new opportunity from the World Race that blends immersive travel, spiritual growth, life skills, and learning across Albania, Macedonia, Italy, Mexico, El Salvador, and Guatemala. This is more than a trip. It’s an experience that will stretch your mind, stir your spirit, and change the way you see the world and yourself.
From the Mediterranean to Latin America – Your Journey Awaits
You’ll wake up to the coastal breeze in Italy, share meals under olive trees in Albania, and build lasting friendships while exploring colorful streets in Guatemala. But even more meaningful than the sights is the transformation that happens when you live in community, sit under intentional discipleship, and ask, God, what are you inviting me into?
This is the heart of Journey School.
You’re not just touring countries. You’re stepping into calling.
Why “Gapless”?
Because there’s no part of this experience that’s wasted.
While many gap year programs offer travel or education or faith development, this one offers all three. It’s a holistic approach to discovering who God made you to be and how He might use you in the world.
Let’s break it down:
Walk in Faith
You’ll dive into Scripture, prayer, and spiritual disciplines in community with mentors and peers who actually want to talk about life, God, and what it means to follow Him. Worship becomes your rhythm. Ministry becomes your mindset. God becomes even more real.
Learn Life Skills
From planning your days and managing your finances to tackling big questions with mentors and AI-enhanced tools—you’ll walk away confident in who you are and how to take ownership of your life.
Grow in Communication
You’ll learn to tell your story, give and receive feedback, navigate hard conversations, and build real community across cultures and languages.
Discover Your Calling
Journey School invites you to ask not just “What should I do with my life?” but “How can I love God and others through the life I’m called to live?” Through the Ikigai process, coaching, and vocational exploration, you’ll begin to match your passions with real-world purpose.
Tackle the World’s Greatest Problems
Each month, you’ll explore one of the world’s 25 most pressing issues – from poverty and education to climate justice and clean water access. But you won’t just talk about them. You’ll dive into ministry and community solutions alongside local leaders.
Explore Ethical AI
The future is moving fast. But what if we used the tools of tomorrow to serve the Kingdom today? You’ll learn how to use AI with wisdom, creativity, and conviction, because we believe the next generation of Jesus-followers should be prepared to lead with both innovation and integrity.
Live, Learn, and Launch Together
Journey School isn’t a classroom – it’s a community. Whether you’re journaling by a Mediterranean sunset or having a hard but holy conversation on a rooftop in Mexico, this is where lifelong transformation begins. You’ll be supported, seen, challenged, and changed in the best ways possible.
This is Gapless. This is Journey School.
