<p>I am planning to take a year off before starting college in the hopes of gaining maturity, wisdom, and such. I was wondering if there are any worthwhile programs/internships in the NYC area that I could do in the meantime.</p>

<p>I'm not familiar with New York's area, but you could at least get a job, do community service to impress the colleges:)</p>
