UnCollege is a San Francisco-based organization operating in the education administration programs sector, with 11 to 50 employees and located at 44 Tehama Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, United States. The organization offers a nine-month Gap Year Program for young people to develop practical skills and gain real-world experience outside traditional classroom settings. The program features three phases—international service learning, skill-building workshops in San Francisco, and an internship anywhere in the world—supported by a dedicated coach or mentor to help fellows set personal and professional goals. The approach is described as Supported Self-Directed Learning, aiming to equip participants with cognitive skills, confidence, and professional aptitudes through a blend of self-directed learning, accountability, mentorship, and deliberate practice. The Gap Year Program began in 2013 and has since enabled Fellows to travel to multiple countries and build work portfolios in San Francisco, with outcomes including internships, college placement, or entrepreneurship.
