LARGEST RESTORATIVE JUSTICE GATHERING

IN THE WORLD

To date, NACRJ has convened nine National Conferences on Community and Restorative Justice, the most recent being in Washington, D.C. in July 2024. Incredible growth over the past fifteen years - from 183 attendees in 2007 to 1,902 attendees in 2024 - signifies the growing interest and expansion of community and restorative justice across the U.S. and the world. The 10th National Conference will take place in 2026. More information will be shared soon, and we hope you will join us.
