3) Leisure for All Programming

Interview three of your classmates or friends/family about their leisure preferences. Identify their similarities and their differences regarding their active leisure pursuits as well as activities they might not engage in because of some type of constraint. Additionally, make note of their segments in society (e.g., men or women, race and ethnicity, cultural differences, LGBTQ). Compile your results and include in your report. Based on your interview research, identify the activities that are most different or constrained. Now, determine how a recreation professional might create a program to address those issues. Here are some things to consider: What would you do first? What discrimination issues or barriers are in place? What outcomes do you expect to achieve?

4) Video Reporting

Review these videos and choose one that resonates with you. These are all inspirational and educational regarding their respective programs. As you are introduced to the organization by the video, you are to research a little more about the program’s mission, locations, populations, and more. Prepare a 2 page report describing the specific details of the chosen program.
