Grodno Regional Public Association of Young Intellectuals (VIT) is a Belarussian non-governmental organization specializing in the development and dissemination of law-related and human rights educational materials and the training of schools, universities, and other non-governmental organizations on these topics.  

VIT was active under the Open Society Institute/Street Law Network Program from 1998–2002, and trained teachers from around Belarus in practical law.  They published a student and teacher manual—Law for Everyday—used in the secondary schools.  A law school-based Street Law program was offered at the law school in Grodna for several years.

VIT continues to infuse aspects of Street Law into their educational materials and trainings.
