Learner goals and capabilities

Second-year Recreation & Leisure Services students are ready to virtually facilitate recreation and leisure activities for others! As a “professional in training”, our students are ready to demonstrate a range of leadership styles, prepare promotional materials, develop and evaluate programs for individuals and/or groups in the community. We are looking for placement sites where students can apply in practice the concepts and theories learned in the classroom. The students have learned in the classroom about many aspects of Recreation and Leisure Services Work, including programming, leadership skills, child and youth development, gerontology, and facilitating group activities. Please note that all of our students will have their Vulnerable Sector Screening completed.

The students are available for 310 hours of unpaid, for-credit work experience beginning in Septemeber, 2020.
