Program Description: The deck has been designed so each "Go Fish" card displays a different community service opportunity available in the Pasco County area. Residents will play the classic game of Go Fish; after a match has been made the resident assistant will educate the residents about that specific community service project and what the resident can do to get involved.

![]() Educational Content: Residents will learn to be better stewards of the environment where they will be given handouts on the topic of reduce, reuse and/or recycle. Residents can bring any "throw away" items they have and reinvent them instead of throwing them away. See list of examples below; but there is no limit on what they reinvent. The box for this program contains paint, glue, and other decorative pieces to embellish their reinvented item. As residents work on their DIY project, the RA will discuss the information from the handout with the residents.

Program Description: Residents will reduce, reuse and recycle by taking items they already have and finding new purposes for them. The RA will lead a discussion on ways we can protect the environment and items we don't re-use, reduce or recycle that we should.
