political service

Greetings all,

I am in the process of creating and writing a curriculum for use in a 
non-profit setting with college students wherein they participate in 
service-learning as an adjunct to a political fellowship program. I am 
attempting to connect the service to a problem/solution theme; namely that 
they would discuss both political and service solutions to community 
problems. I would like to use readings and reflections to aid in these 
connections, so i need some literature to share with the fellows. If anyone 
has any ideas about political connections of service-learning that would be 
appropriate for undergrads and graduate students alike, I would appreciate 
it! I am especially looking for articles and books about reflection as a 
tool to facilitate this.

Similarly, if anyone has created or been involved in a program that connects 
service to politics in a concrete manner, i would love to hear about it.

Additionally, if any of you know young people ages 18-24 who would like to 
be involved in a political internship/seminar/service-learning summer 
fellowship program, direct them to our website: www.unitedleaders.org

thanks in advance for the suggestions!
