Learning Objectives
By the end of STEP 7, the student shall be able to:
- Name the common types of personnel and staffing roles that frequently show up at recreation-based events and programs
- Describe the importance of having recreation events and programs led by competent professionals
- Predict the various personnel needs for a given recreation program or event based on its nature/theme, size, and other distinguishing characteristics
- Evaluate the financial viability of a program or event based on its staffing and volunteer requirements
Recreation programs and events require leadership – human resources. Leadership can take on many guises – it’s not just about running activities! Simply put, a leader is any person who uses skills to help a group identify and achieve its goals. When it comes to program-planning, figuring out how to use available person-power – the human resources you have at your disposal – to run the various pieces of your program or event is an essential piece of the program-planning process.
