THE HIGH SCHOOL MINISTRY OF CRU

GAP YEAR

What is a Cru Gap Year?

A 9-month adventure for recent high school graduates to discover more of who God is and who He has created you to be as you travel the world, experience new cultures, and build lasting friendships.

You will travel to multiple locations around the world, coming alongside local Cru teams and partners to reach teenagers. Lives will be transformed as you develop friendships, share your life and take opportunities to share about a relationship with God.

One Month Training

Be equipped to trust God, communicate the Gospel and live in other cultures.

Personal Development

Discover who God has created you to be, develop your strengths, and establish your worldview to help prepare you for what’s next after Gap Year.

Sharing your faith

Make an impact in the lives of students by stepping out in faith to tell them about Jesus. Developing relationships can be made through speaking in high school classes, playing sports and other activities.
