Abstract In the 21st century, recreation and leisure programmers will face many social, cultural, economic, and environmental changes that affect the recreation and leisure needs, interests, and attitudes of the people they serve. These changes require recreation and leisure programmers who are highly skilled, knowledgeable, and competent in planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating recreation and leisure programs and services, with the goal of creating high quality, high impact leisure experiences. Recreation and Leisure Programming: A 21st Century Perspective provides key insights into the strategies, practices, procedures, and methods for recreation and leisure programmers to employ to fulfill their responsibility successfully.
