Taking good news to every young person in Bath

Would you like to do a gap year with YFC?

A gap year can be a life changing experience and provide a great opportunity for those who have left school and either just want to take a year out to serve others before going into work or onto university, or want to explore a career in youth work. Here's what Naomi, one of our recent gap year team members thought of her experience...

"Wow, what an amazing year! At the very start of this year I was so scared about what was to come, but I can safely say I do not regret this year for one second. I have learnt so much about young people, dance, myself; and I've grown a lot closer to God. I've also learnt a lot about patience, particularly through the time when I had concussion earlier on this year; I've learnt to be patient in times when things won't always work the way I want them to. I've loved all the work I've been doing and I've loved connecting with all the young people and building relationships with them. This has been without a doubt the most life changing year of my life and I'm going to miss Bath and everybody here so much!"

Every year Bath YFC has gap year volunteers who are an integral part of team. We work with British YFC who run the excellent YFCone gap year programme. British YFC run the recruitment, training and national support for gap year volunteers and Bath YFC provides the placement and local support for the young people who end up spending a gap year with us in Bath.
