Considerations: This program works best and
is most helpful when the school/organization is located
near a big city (For example, my school is near Chicago,
IL) where the public transportation system and all
area opportunities might be a little overwhelming!
Description: This program is designed to help
the residents use the community resources in their
area. While the RA is implementing and coordinating
the program, the residents are in charge of planning
their activities so as to aquaint them with services
and opportunities in a fun way! Its also a great way
to get lots of people excited about this program because
they're involved in the ideas, planning and organizing.
There is little prep work for the program initially:
- Plan for two weekends in a row that will be available
and not conflict with other major campus activities.
- Call a floor meeting but be vague in details (after
all, even you don't know what the program will be
yet!)
- Have information packets (attached) ready at
the meeting, one for each suite/group that will
be participating.
- After explaining the details at the meeting,
they are free to go plan their trips, but they must
have their information turned in by the deadline!
