Gap Year Fair 2/8 in Carrboro
Each year, the Go Overseas team coordinates about 40 USA Gap Year Fairs across the country to connect students, parents, and educators with gap year program providers from all over the world. In 2020, the fairs will run from January 5th - February 29th. Attendees can expect to meet with 30-60 different gap year and summer opportunities program representatives. Fairs are free and open to the public, but pre-registration is highly recommended, especially because we're giving away $1,000 to the high school with the highest percentage of attendance at the fairs.
Description
Come join us at our Chapel Hill, NC area event on Saturday, February 8th from 1:00-4:00 PM for an incredible FREE opportunity to learn about a number of life-changing gap year programs from all around the world!
For more information, visit our website at usagapyearfairs.org. You can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. See you there!
Fair attendees, we're thrilled to see you at the event! Please register for the total number of guests planning to attend the fair. All fair information will be associated with the main contact who registers, but if there are multiple gap year "researchers" within your group, we recommend that you register separately.
For example, if you're planning on bringing the whole family of 4, and both mom and the high school senior in your group would like to do their own gap year research, we recommend having mom sign up for 3 people (including 2 tag alongs) with her contact information and the gap year candidate can then register on their own.
Each person who registers will receive an ID card/Gap Year Fast Pass to use to exchange contact information with program providers you'd like to keep in touch with. After the fair, you'll be able to log in and access a curated list of all your favorite programs you met at the fair to help you continue your gap year program search after the event.
If there's any confusion here or if your plans change, don't worry! We can set things straight on the day of the event when you check in at the registration table. Thanks, and see you there!
Also, If you plan to attend our event and would like to request any reasonable accomodations in order to benefit from our programming, please inform us of your request via email at fairs@gooverseas.com at least 1 week prior to the event date.
