Millennium Fellowship Project: Interlude
At Interlude, we are building an online platform & community to support & guide gap year students in India. We will also help fight the stigma of taking a gap year within this country.
We will do this by offering:
- Mental Health Support
- Access to relevant opportunities (such as internships & online courses)
- Traveling groups
- Upskilling Workshops
And most importantly,
- A group of like-minded peers to support the gap year students throughout their year journey
The benefits of taking a gap year typically outweigh the downsides, and we hope to bring the opportunity of a gap year to a larger audience within India.
