Students seeking an agriculture or sustainability-focused gap year may be ideal candidates for WWOOF’s “Travel, Live, & Learn on Organic Farms” gap year program. WWOOF-USA stands for Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms ad is a non-profit organization spread by grass-roots actions from volunteers, or WWOOFers, to promote organic and sustainable households, cultural and educational experiences, and contribute to building a more sustainable global community.

There are over 1,700+ host farms all across the USA, with WWOOFing opportunities near and far from home for all US students in every single state, as well as in the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. WWOOF gap year stays can be customized by length, from a day or weekend on a local farm up to a week, full semester, or even longer.

Areas of potential study for WWOOF gap year students:

  • Sustainable agriculture
  • Environmental science
  • Veterinary studies
  • Culinary arts
  • Health and nutrition
  • Forestry
  • Many more!

Some WWOOF hosts are registered as non-profit organizations and thus able to offer service or school credit!

WWOOF gap year program structure day-to-day:

  • WWOOFers spend about half of each day helping on a host farm while learning about organic agriculture and sustainability
  • Free room and board during their visit – with no money exchanged between host farmers and WWOOFers
  • No previous experience is required
