Educational leisure-time activities include but are not limited to homework or special interest clubs; out of school hours coaching in artistic, sporting or other physical activities; and learning opportunities available through facilities offering residential, weekend or holiday-time services. Volunteering activity will also fall within this category of activity; where young people gain valuable non-formal educational benefits from the experience. Image credit: gabork The Duty (1)
