The Alabama Center for Law & Civic Education

The Alabama Center for Law & Civic Education is the law-related and civic education training resource center for the state of Alabama. The Center provides in-school programs, community programs, training for teachers and community leaders, access to resources, special programs for at-risk youth and juvenile offenders, and the coordination of in-school and community-based law and civic education programs among educational, legal, community, and governmental agencies. The Center is also in the process of developing SafetyNet, a statewide internet, fax, and phone-tree network of over sixty organizations and government agencies that participate in the Alabama Violence Prevention Consortium. The Center's offices are at Cumberland School of Law, at Samford University in Birmingham, AL.

In 1995, the Alabama Center for Law & Civic Education:
-- trained over 600 community volunteers and classroom teachers
-- directly involved over 20,000 youth and school children statewide in the Center's programs
-- distributed for free over $110,000 of books, pamphlets, posters, and other educational
materials to schools and community organizations
-- recruited over 300 volunteers who contributed over 3,500 hours of documented
volunteer service
