Life is what you create. How will you create yours?

Dynamy Internship Year has thrived for over 50 years as a domestic Gap Year not because of what we do, but because of why and how we do it.  We exist to give students a place that allows them to test out their interests and to create a plan for their future that makes sense to them.  We exist because too many people struggle in the traditional classroom but thrive in hands-on opportunities in the real world, and because students need to explore options, not listen to lectures. Dynamy Internship Year has a unique approach to education with hands-on internships, apartment living, mentorship, adventure challenges, life skills workshops and the possibility of college credit all thoughtfully mixed together. If you’re looking to step into the real world and explore your passions, Dynamy could be the right place for you!

Sound interesting? Schedule a visit and come meet us! We want to work with you to find out if Dynamy is a place to help you create your life.

Enrollment Options

Dynamy strategically mimics a college calendar so that interns can be on a similar yearly schedule as their peers who maybe in college. Interns can join us for a semester (fall or spring) or a full academic year (fall and spring).

Fall Semester: 

Our fall semester will run from September to December with a week off for Thanksgiving break.  Students who join us for just the fall semester will complete one internship experience which will be roughly nine or ten weeks long.  Students who apply for the fall semester do have the option to reapply for the spring semester about five or six weeks into the semester.  This “semester to semester” approach allows students to be in the driver’s seat with the length of time that they would like to be at Dynamy.

Spring Semester:

Our spring semester will run from January to May with a week off in March for spring break.  Students who join us for just the spring semester will complete one internship experience which will be roughly ten weeks long.  

Full Year:

Our full year students will attend Dynamy from September to May (similar to an academic calendar) with a week off for Thanksgiving, a three to four week winter break in December and a week long March spring break.  Students who attend Dynamy for the full year will have the opportunity to complete three different internships- one in the fall and potentially two in the spring.

* Dynamy Internship Year works with many independent educational consultants, gap consultants, high school counselors and other third parties throughout the admissions/ enrollment process. Dynamy does not pay for any student referrals

Read some of our frequently asked questions

What if I don’t know what internships I want to do?

Don’t worry! We hear this often. Many students coming into Dynamy are unsure of their internship path or even where they want to start. Dynamy has a trusted team of advisors that can help you navigate the process and find an internship that will be a good fit for you. Part of Internship Year is exploration and gaining a better understanding of your interest and passions.

What is the age range for Dynamy?

Dynamy students are 17-22 years old. Many students attend Dynamy right after graduating high school- others come after a few semesters of college. Whatever your recent path may be, you should apply if you feel ready! The most important factor for a successful Internship Year is the motivation to work with supportive advisors, like-minded peers, and real-world internships.

Can you help me figure out next steps after Dynamy?

We understand transitions can be hard, especially trying to make plans for next steps. Dynamy advisers work with students throughout the year to discuss and assist with future planning. Additionally, Dynamy has a part-time college counselor on our team to help students navigate the college process from individual classes to colleges and universities.
