I incorporate service learning in all my semester objectives because I think its important that students give back to the community where they live and sometimes the only way to do that is to give students the opportunity to choose. I offer students various activities for credit so they get the choice of activity, day, time that fits their individual schedules. You can tailor the extra credit to your personal college life. I look for diverse activities that will help the students grow and inadvertently teach them what a good feeling it is to give back their talents.
We do a conversation table: many students thought it was an incredible experience to sit and speak with students from different countries. They can choose to go to the elementary school and I give them the option of two different days and two different times to read to kindergarten and first grade students. The children are so impressed by "big" college students, and love the one on one attention they received from someone reading them a book. The education majors win because that is the discipline of their field. The communication majors also benefit because they're speaking to a different audience than they would have in a college setting. Considering Speech 100 encompasses every major on this campus, the remaining students have an incredible experience working one on one with a child.
