Gap Year
Are you ready for an adventure? Catholic Residential Retreat Centres across the country offer a life-changing volunteering opportunity for young adults. Retreat team volunteers live in community with other young adults, sharing their faith with hundreds of young people on retreat and making lifelong friends along the way. As a volunteer, you’ll gain invaluable skills in leadership, organisation and teamwork. Whatever your career path, your newfound confidence and unique skill set are sure to set you apart from the rest. The experience will have a lasting impact on your own faith. You’ll find a list of all of the Catholic Residential Retreat Centres in England and Wales below. Take a look at their websites for more information.
