Innovative Community Legal Education Fellowship
Partners We Worked With
What Is Innovative Community Legal Education Fellowship?
By empowering students, legal practitioners, and community partners, we aim to cultivate their active involvement in the process of innovating community legal education.
Through our collaborative initiatives, they have the chance to work hand in hand with experienced mentors and community partners, collectively shaping and designing innovative solutions that cater to the diverse needs of our communities.
Together, we strive to create a seamless flow of knowledge, expertise, and creativity, revolutionizing the field of community legal education.
The Principle Behind
In the Fellowship, we leverage SLHK’s proven model to create sustainable and tangible transformations within the community.
Fellows undergo comprehensive training and collaborate with mentors and partners to design innovative community legal education initiatives for diverse communities.
This program empowers students, legal practitioners, and community partners to actively drive change and innovation in community legal education within their communities.

Tracy Cheng
It is meaningful to bring a positive influence in someone else’s personal growth, no matter how slight it is.
And it’s equally gratifying to be in turn inspired and energized. In Street Law, I believe it is the genuine minds that connect.
