News Release - Organizations Providing Bloggers for Planet Gap Year

Planet Gap Year creates new on-line promotional partnerships with two Denver based organizations eager to market programs to potential gap year students.

Up with People, an international youth exchange program offering multicultural education experiences, and AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civillian Community Corps), the residential national service program for youth age 18-24, have teamed up with Planet Gap Year. Both organizations are providing Planet Gap Year with a small group of motivated student writers who will blog during their respective gap year experiences.

The initiative will provide a space U.S. students to share their gap year experiences on-line, and for the organizations to promote their programs to students who are increasingly going on-line to find information about volunteer, travel, internship and experiential education opportunities. The student bloggers have a chance to inspire more U.S. students to consider volunteering, or traveling abroad, as part of a gap year experience. Their friends and families will be able to follow their progress in print, pictures and video on our site, during their travels.

PlanetGapYear.com invites inquiries from organizations and individuals interested in blogging on our site.
