So excited for our Heartland Juvenile Services Association - HJSA conference this week! We have some pretty amazing keynote and breakout speakers, one of which is Diante Jones! I first met Diante about 10 years ago. He was a guest speaker for my Gangs class I was teaching at Midland University at the time. I was so impressed by his story and book he had written, I asked him a few years later to be a part of a curriculum I was working on for incarcerated youth through the Nebraska Justice Research Dept, The Transformation Project.
Believe me, you don’t want to miss out on this conference and the chance to hear Diante speak!

Our conference brings together juvenile justice professionals and others to strengthen residential and community services for youth and families.
