Spring Street Law meeting for new and returning members. Thursday, January 27th, 5:30, room # TBA
Returning Members: Please join us for a brief welcome back meeting that will include instructions on our new class sign up procedure.
New Members: Street Law is an exciting opportunity to escape the law school grind by getting involved in the Austin community. Street Law sends UT law students into Austin public schools to teach practical lessons about law, democracy, and human rights. Our lessons range from basic constitutional law to teen dating violence.
We provide step-by-step, objective-driven lesson plans, teaching materials, and training. No prior teaching experience is required, and we welcome veteran teachers with open arms. All of our hour-long lessons are scheduled for Fridays and taught in groups of (3) Street Law Members. While you're only required to teach one lesson a semester, you may, of course, sign up for as many lessons as you would like.
In addition to our Street Law curriculum, we have developed a new mentorship program; interested members can volunteer to mentor a student at Webb Middle School.
Please come to the meeting to learn more about our organization and to participate in a brief training session. If you have any questions, please email director@streetlawtexas.org.
