NOMINATE A STUDENT FOR THIS PROGRAM
You chose a gap year so you could DO cool stuff and build your resume or portfolio, but how the heck do you do that with no $$$ to get started?
Or maybe you’ve just finished your bachelor’s degree and have no idea what the heck you are supposed to do next with no real-world experience on your resume.
The CanGap Impact Fellowship is a 3-month project management program helping young Canadians (ages 17 – 25) get experience in turning ideas into real (and meaningful!) projects.
So, what kind of projects can you build during your fellowship?
- Host a fundraiser for a local women’s shelter or organization you support
- Direct an art show that shares powerful pieces by youth in your community
- Host a cultural dinner and evening for your neighbors and friends (celebrate black excellence, Indigenous culture, and more!)
- Lead awareness campaigns on the dangers of fast fashion or mass tourism
- Organize a community-wide clean-up
- As long as your project highlights a community service element, social or environmental justice topic, the sky’s the limit!
