Program Description (long):
A Longé Interim program or GapYear offers young adults a hands-on educational environment ideal for exploring another world view. Longé is a bridge to the Kalinago community, to opportunities that will broaden hearts and minds, foster independence and interdependence, and encourage self-knowledge. Longé immerses young adults into new landscapes and new perspectives that will increase understanding of others, develop leadership skills and offer connections that will span cultural and geographic differences.
Spending a semester or two living communally, volunteering at Crayfish River Preschool, St. Cyr Health Clinic, or developing programs with or through the Committee of Concerned Women engages participants in every aspect of the Territory. Deep within the rhythm of day-to day life, relationships are formed and nurtured. Day trips, weekend excursions and other cultural adventures further enhance appreciation of the geographical and social contexts of life in this unique region.
