YMCA of the Rockies provides a variety of gap program options for individuals looking to
take time after high school before college, or looking for a break from college to gain
work and life experience before jumping into academics or a career. Depending on the
program, we aim to develop the person to grow individually, explore their faith and
establish their own values and beliefs. Check out each of our gap programs to learn which
is right for you.
