The NACRJ Conference has experienced incredible growth since its inception 15 years ago. The July 2022 conference attendance numbers exceeded expectations. With 1,707 registered attendees, this year's event in Chicago was the largest NACRJ conference to date! Attendees came from near and far to connect (and re-connect!) with one another. From the most rural areas of the country to the most urban, people came together to be in community, to learn, and to motivate one another. We are so grateful for the beautiful enrichment that attendees brought to the conference.

NACRJ Executive Director Joel Friesz will be leading virtual Circles for NACRJ members and the RJ community. These Circles will provide an opportunity for those working and living in restorative and community justice spaces to listen, learn from and support each other. The purpose of these Circles is to provide a space where NACRJ members can step away from their busy daily lives and come together in a safe and healing space.
