See what people are saying about the benefit of gap years:

  • You should never believe someone when they say "oh yeah best time of my life woohoo" except when I'm saying it because I'm being honest! These past nine months have been so transformative.

    Nadav F. Tivnu Participant 2015-16

  • Tivnu offered something different: a chance for me to play a role in creating tangible justice.

    Reuben D., Participant 2016-17

  • I have grown and been able to focus on what I want to do with my life, and it has opened my eyes to new things I would never have thought possible.
