Gap year volunteering

After taking a year out, Nerdy decided to gain experience by volunteering in her local community, including providing sex education with the Terrence Higgins Trust. She's found that the skills she's picked up will stand her in good stead when she attends university and eventually starts looking for a job. As she says, "It's shaped me, so it'll shape you."
