This article describes the three components of the Benefit-Based Management Activity Planning Model for youth in at-risk environments. This model emphasizes: ( 1) the need to establish socially relevant Target Issues and develop outcome-oriented Target Goals, (2) the development of purposive recreation experiences including performance objectives, detailed program content and structure, processing of experiences and monitoring of experiences, and (3) a comprehensive evaluation plan for both Target Issues and Target Goals. Additional emphasis is given to program principles that are effective in working with youth in at-risk environments.
