Gap year |
|
|
|
I occasionally get information sent to me about gap year opportunities. Some of them look really exciting… if only I'd known about them when I was younger! |
|
|
|
Here's a selection: |
|
|
|
· Christian Aid does a programme in conjunction with Time for God. For more information call Elaine Hornsby at TFG on 020 8444 8096. |
|
|
|
· Toybox is a charity that supports street children from Guatemala. They offer a "Gap Year Challenge" of three months in Guatemala learning Spanish and working in a hands on role, followed by nine months in Amersham doing schools outreach. If you are interested, call Louise Sherratt on 01494 432591. |
|
|
|
Or contact your Diocesan or District Youth Officer (you'll find an Anglican one in most dioceses. There are some Catholic youth officers.) |
|
|
|
Denominational youth officers have big files of gap year opportunities with churches and charities. |

SCM has a retreat from 22-24 June for students to de-stress at the end of the year. For information call 0121 471 2404 or email . |

If you want me to, I will run a session just for 11-14's on confirmation and other issues for interchurch children. This will be straight after supper on Saturday evening. It would help me if I could get an idea of how many people would be interested in coming, and what sort of things you would like to do in the session. So, 11-14's - please get in touch (it's lonely here on my own….) and let me know what YOU WANT: |
