The YELP experience

Self-discovery, leadership, entrepreneurship and real-world experience combine in one purposeful year. Participants explore strengths, values, purpose, communication, decision-making, business thinking and future pathways.

Four stages

The year follows a clear development journey.

  • DISCOVER — Know yourself, your strengths, values and purpose.

  • EXPLORE — Understand careers, entrepreneurship, industries and

    education pathways.

  • LEAD — Practise leadership, teamwork, communication and community

    engagement.

  • CREATE — Build a personal and professional roadmap for the future.

A year-long project

Every participant undertakes a personal or entrepreneurial project, guided by mentors and advisers. The experience culminates in a showcase for parents, mentors, partners and invited guests.

Who YELP is for

YELP is suited to young people using a gap year intentionally—particularly those who want clarity about their next step, stronger confidence and independence, leadership capability, entrepreneurship exposure and meaningful real-world experience.

What participants leave with

Greater self-awareness, a stronger sense of purpose, leadership capability, entrepreneurial thinking, real-world exposure, a network of mentors and peers, and a personal roadmap.
