About CanGap Impact Fellowship 2023

You chose a gap year so you could DO cool stuff and build your resume or portfolio, but how the heck do you do that with no $$$ to get started? Or maybe you’ve just finished your bachelor’s degree and have no idea what the heck you are supposed to do next with no real-world experience on your resume.

The CanGap Impact Fellowship is a 3-month skill development and project management program helping young Canadians (ages 17 – 25) get real experience in turning ideas into real (and impactful!) projects.

Program Details

The Impact Fellowship will run two cohorts for the 2023/24 school year: October to December and January to March. To learn which cohort is right for you,ย click here.

So, what kind of projects can you build during your fellowship?

  • Host a fundraiser for a local womenโ€™s shelter or organization you support

  • Direct an art show that shares powerful pieces by youth in your community

  • Host a cultural dinner and evening for your neighbors and friends (celebrate black excellence, Indigenous culture, and more!)

  • Lead awareness campaigns on the dangers of fast fashion or mass tourism

  • Organize a community-wide park or beach clean-up

As long as your project highlights a community service element, social or environmental justice topic, the sky’s the limit!

Month One
October/January

Kick-off your project with a 4-day bootcamp (October 3 – 6 OR January 9 – 12 from 10AM to 12PM EST) where weโ€™ll dive into your interests, your project goals, and everything you need to know to lead a kick-butt, meaningful project.

After completing your Bootcamp, youโ€™ll receive 50% of your $1000 project micro-grant and the remaining 50% after submitting your project budget for review.

Month Two
November/February

Every week following bootcamp, youโ€™ll meet with your Program Lead and cohort to dive into skill building workshops that level-up your abilities, your confidence, and move you closer to your project goals.ย 

Youโ€™ll also meet weekly with your Project Coach to keep you on track throughout the 3 months as you work to plan, implement, and report on your service project.

Month Three
December/March

By the end of month three, you will have implemented your project and be responsible for evaluating and reporting on the success of it. Donโ€™t worry if not everything goes the way you imagined – thatโ€™s where the greatest learning comes in!
