Hi, we’re Street Law. Since 1972, we’ve been hard at work in communities and schools across the country and around the globe, developing programs and teaching materials that educate people about law and government. We believe that people’s lives and society as a whole will improve when everyone has the knowledge, skills, and confidence to 1) understand how law and government work, 2) advocate effectively for themselves and others, and 3) participate in civic life. We move the needle on our mission by helping others—specifically classroom teachers, the legal community, law enforcement, government agencies, and community organizations—be effective law and government educators. Our work fits into the following five categories: Teacher Professional Development Programs that help classroom teachers improve the way they teach about law and government Legal Community Partnership Programs that tap the knowledge of lawyers, law students, police officers, and other legal professionals to teach young people about law and legal careers A Legal Life Skills Program that empowers underserved populations with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to thrive International Programs that bring education about democracy and rule of law to young people and marginalized populations outside of the U.S. Curricula and Teaching Materials that are relevant to students’ lives and delivered via interactive, student-centered teaching strategies 2 About Us Our Mission: Street Law, Inc. advances justice through classroom and community education programs that empower people with the legal and civic knowledge, skills, and confidence to bring about positive change for themselves and others.
