Africa Gap Year

• About
  Here at CCS, we understand that there is no limit to the rich and varied cultures and history that you’ll discover in Africa over your gap year. When considering a continent that hosts over 50 nations, and literally thousands of languages and dialects, we believe you must explore more than one region to begin to develop a true understanding of the many gems this continent has to offer. This is why the Discover Africa Experience immerses you in three vastly different regions of Africa. Start your gap journey in the North African nation of Morocco and explore Muslim culture and tradition and you connect with new neighbors and friends in your volunteer placements. Next, you’ll head over to Ghana’s Volta Region and learn about the unique beauty and history of rural West Africa. There, you’ll explore jungles and beautiful coastlines. You’ll complete your gap year living and volunteering in the shadow of Africa’s most recognizable peaks – Mt. Kilimanjaro. In your free time, Tanzania’s landscape will introduce you to her wealth of natural resources, including unique wildlife, coffee plantations, waterfalls, and banana fields. Discover the real Africa in this 12 week gap year program! You’ll be glad you did.
