Abstract

Leisure education approaches have historically been used to reach small, targeted populations in clinical settings. There is a growing movement toward community-based leisure education programs but these too present challenges. The current chapter provides a brief review of leisure education followed by case studies illustrating how community-based leisure education programs support a positive sociology of leisure.
