The A.D.A.P.T. 8-week Gap Year program is designed specifically for young adults ages 18-24.  Young adults tend to grapple with questions about their purpose, values, and passions, leading to a lack of a sense of direction. The threat of climate change and continuously shifting economic, political, and cultural dynamics are now compounding the challenges of the transition into adulthood. Learn how to find and connect with your inner life story while contributing to a sustainable and thriving future.
