It is with the utmost excitement we announce the location and dates of the 9th National NACRJ Conference on Community and Restorative Justice - July 7-10, 2024 in Washington D.C.!

The idea of DMV (District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia) hosting the national conference came up several years ago and we could not be more excited to see it come to fruition in 2024.

There will be many exciting details to share in the months and year ahead but for today we simply invite you to "save the date" on your calendar. Sign up to receive updates, early bird rates, and more.
