J2Guides, Gap Year Consultants

Jane and Jason, the J2 behind J2Guides, put empowerment, agency and affordability at the center of your gap year planning.

Empowering young adults who are standing on the cusp of change has been at the heart of our work for nearly 30 years. We have championed the benefits of experiential learning since our own gap years when inspiring mentors and real world learning rejuvenated our academic paths. We have since led hundreds of students on gap year programs, directed a travel and volunteer organization, and spent over a decade as gap year consultants. We know that a well-planned gap year - with a coach in your corner - can bring confidence, perspective and relevant skills to your lifelong journey of living and learning.
