Offers a college- and career-readiness program, designed to help 18-24-year-olds in Lincoln explore and make a plan for the future, and gain the knowledge, skills, and connections to make it happen (going to college, getting a job, or starting their own business).

The eight-month program creates upward mobility for out-of-high-school young adults by preparing them to be employers, employees, and leaders. Graduates will develop fundamental, transferable life and career skills, obtain certifications and college credits, enroll in paid internship programs, and get to experience in-demand, future-forward careers. The program starts with a career exploration phase, followed by a design thinking career planning process where students will select their passion track. Once students have determined their trajectory, they will earn certifications and complete a capstone project, mentorship, and a paid internship.

Gap Year runs October-May, with mandatory workshops and classes taking place at The Bay LNK on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30 am-1 pm. Open Lab hours, where students can dive deep into equipment, certifications, and technology, takes place at The Bay LNK on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings. Students must also complete at least two hours of Open Lab time each week.
