2018 NLADA Annual Conference--Resilient Justice

Join us to learn more about NLADA’s groundbreaking AmeriCorps VISTA program, Defending Communities in Service. This program, for the first time ever, will place AmeriCorps VISTA members in public defender offices across the country to build capacity. With support from the Corporation for National and Community Service, this program is poised to invest as much as $5 million in indigent defense over its first three years in action. As NLADA embarks on this journey, we want your feedback on how you think that National Service could serve the needs of your office and your community. Participants will meet several of our inaugural cohort VISTA members, gain a greater understanding of how DCS-VISTA has affected public defender offices across the country, and have the opportunity to help shape the next generation of National Service programs initiated by NLADA. Come. Share. Break ground with us.
