The University Gap Year

Parent–Child Guide and Workbook for Intentional Formation Before University University is not simply the next academic destination. It is a new environment. A new level of freedom. A new level of responsibility. A new exposure to people, ideas, opportunities, pressures and decisions. And for many young people, university becomes the place where they are suddenly expected to do things they have never been intentionally prepared to do. Manage money. Manage time. Manage friendships. Manage emotions. Make decisions. Handle failure. Navigate relationships. Solve problems. Ask for help. Stand by their values. And take responsibility for the consequences of their choices. This is why BEFORE UNIVERSITY GAP YEAR exists.
