All children and youth have a right to participate in and enjoy healthy hobbies and interests. Participation in out-of-school leisure activities benefits youth socially, emotionally, physically, and academically. Many youth (those with disabilities, mental health challenges, or who live in poverty) face barriers to participation in leisure limiting the development of healthy hobbies/interests.  Learn creative strategies for promoting leisure participation at the individualized (leisure coaching), targeted (small group), and universal (whole school or community) levels. Success stories of the impact of meaningful leisure participation in inclusive school and community settings for youth experiencing leisure deprivation will be shared.
