GAPS 2.0: the party bus that carries students from their InterVarsity chapter to the After Party of lifelong alumni engagement
Our students are warmly welcomed by Campus Staff into the party of InterVarsity on campus, where they learn to faithfully follow Jesus in community. GAPS 2.0 is the bus that carries those students to the After Party of lifelong engagement with InterVarsity after they graduate.

GAPS is InterVarsity's strategy for turning graduating students into lifelong givers to campus ministry. It disciples students in generosity while they're on campus, then keeps them engaged with InterVarsity over the course of their life and giving to the mission on campus long after they graduate. GAPS 2.0 is the next step: a coordinated push to make that happen at scale, across the whole movement, and to make the results visible to the staff who make it possible.
