Support Justice, Equity, and Healing With Us: Explore NACRJ 2026 Sponsorship Opportunities

A Message from Our Conference & Events Director
Hello NACRJ Family,
I’m Lucinda Cross, and I am thrilled to officially introduce myself as the new Conference and Events Director for the National Association of Community and Restorative Justice. What an honor it is to step into this role at such a pivotal and powerful time, especially as we prepare for our 10th National Conference in 2026, hosted in the vibrant, soulful city of New Orleans.
This isn't just another conference. It's a milestone moment, a chance for our community to come together and reflect, reconnect, and reimagine the future of community and restorative justice. From local advocates to national leaders, youth voices to seasoned elders, this gathering is about all of us.
As someone who has dedicated my life to advocacy, reentry, and transformational healing, I know how much these spaces mean. But we can’t do this without you.
I’m excited to share our official NACRJ 2026 Sponsorship Deck, outlining the many ways individuals, organizations, and institutions can support and uplift this national gathering. Your sponsorship isn’t just a donation, it’s an act of justice. It helps us:
- Provide scholarships for youth and system-impacted attendees
- Highlight and celebrate local New Orleans cultural bearers
- Bring together a diverse and representative community
- Ensure the conference is accessible to as many people as possible
Your investment ensures that this 10th National Conference reflects the heart of our work: equity, inclusion, healing, and community.

And if you’d like to connect directly, I’d love to meet with you. Whether you’re curious about partnership opportunities, have ideas to share, or simply want to introduce yourself, don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact me at conference@nacrj.org. Let’s dream, strategize, and make NACRJ 2026 something truly transformative.
