Goal Setting
One of the hardest parts about planning a Gap Year is knowing where to begin. How can so many possibilities make things harder?! EnRoute begins each consultation with setting personal goals to use as a compass when planning. Right from the get-go, we have intentions to work from.
Time-Saving
EnRoute works from a database of pre-vetted opportunities so we can hit the ground running with every student. If you are ready to get an itinerary together quickly, we are ready to make it happen.

Knowing Good Opportunities vs. ‘Bad’ Opportunities
How do you know if the program you choose is a good one? If you are volunteering, how can you tell if they are doing worthwhile work in the host communities? If traveling, how do you know the organization has a good safety record? EnRoute has a strict vetting process in place – we strive to work with other organizations that share our values for a better world and our commitment to the safety of our students.
Tackling Budget Woes
Small budget? No budget? EnRoute works with families of all stripes who come to us with different gap year allowances. We pride ourselves on being able to formulate meaningful, cost-effective itineraries for any budget.

Assuaging Parents
If you a parent of a Gap Year student with no plan of action, you are probably loosing some sleep. If you are a Gap Year student without a plan, your parents are probably asking every day how you will spend your time. Family tension often arises during the planning process, but EnRoute families report these tensions diminish once we start working with them. Once students have a partner in planning and parents feel progress is being made, the dinner table is happy once again!
Pre-Departure Preparation
The summer is spent working with students to prepare physically and mentally for the year ahead. Packing lists, recommended reads and discussions on their destinations make for a traveler excited to tackle their Gap Year.
