NICEL has developed programs and materials to give young people the skills they need to make a difference in their communities; one such program is Teens, Crime, and the Community, a model service learning program in which participants learn how crime affects them and develop community service projects to reduce crime in their neighborhoods. NICEL sponsors several programs to bring law- related education to at-risk adolescents. In 1972, NICEL launched its first Street Law program to send law students into high schools, juvenile and adult correctional institutions, and community settings to teach practical law; 38 law schools now offer this program. Other activities sponsored by NICEL include conflict management training, mock trials, law-related education for disabled students, and international programs.
