SPIN: Community Service

Community Service

As part of our commitment to public interest, SPIN organizes and participates in various community service projects throughout the year.

Projects have included serving dinner at Project HOME, attending Philly Cares Day, organizing a blood drive with the Red Cross, collecting toys for the Family Court House and Toys for Tots, joining Temple's Day of Service and Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, and volunteering at SHARE Food Program of PA.

In addition, many SPIN members participate in the varied pro bono opportunities offered by the Law School. In fact, hours spent volunteering with the Domestic Violence Assistance Project (DVAP), Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), the Innocence Project, LEAP, and other pro bono legal work count toward qualifying for SPIN priority and SPIN Honors Awards.

Finally, SPIN supports other student organizations in their volunteer efforts by collaborating on planning, advertising to members, and offering "credit" toward SPIN requirements.

Temple's Day of Service 2010: Every year on Temple Law's Annual Day of Service, faculty, students, and staff, visit a local neighborhood with work gloves, paintbrushes, and scrapers. Here are SPIN members making a positive contribution to the Philadelphia community and enjoying some time away from the library.
