I would like to bring to your attention the following new book that may be of interest to you: Partnerships for Service-Learning: Impacts on Communities and Students.  Published by Jossey-Bass, there is a 20% discount if you enter the code HAE20 at http://www.josseybass.com.  The full price is $40. I am mentioning this to you because I know one of the authors, Freyda Lazarus, who has worked extensively in the service-learning field for many years and the book has received excellent reviews:

“These case studies highlight the critical importance of reciprocity in campus-community partnerships. It is through the two-way interchange of knowledge and assets that service-learning achieves its democratic potential as a pedagogy with the power to transform education, campuses, and communities. The examples provided here offer rich and sophisticated models that will be invaluable for community as well as academic leaders committed to deepening the partnering process.” — John Saltmarsh, professor of higher education administration and director, New England Resource Center for Higher Education, University of Massachusetts, Boston; and Edward Zlotkowski, professor of English, Bentley University
