new service learning course

Dear service learning colleagues,
        I will be offering a new course on our campus (a two-year 
community college) next semester entitled Service Learning.  This 
is a one hour credit course and we will be meeting once per week, 
for about an hour.  Students will be required to complete 30 hours 
of service learning during the semester. In keeping with the intent of 
service learning, I want students to integrate what they learn from 
class with their service in the community.  However, the course 
does not deal with a specific subject or discipline (like education or 
sociology); rather, it is a stand alone service learning course.  
Therefore, I am having some difficulty coming up with a text or 
readings for the course. If you have any suggestions on this, I 
would very much appreciate hearing from you.  I would also 
appreciate any suggestions on how to best use this hour of class 
time each week.  I am familiar with the campus compact website 
with syllabi, but didn't find anything there that was comparable.  
Any suggestions you could offer would be appreciated.  If you 
prefer to reply to me, my email address is 
jwsmith@hermes.gc.peachnet.edu
