The American Probation and Parole Association is an
international association composed of members from the United States, Canada
and other countries actively involved with
probation, parole and community-based corrections, in both adult and juvenile sectors. All
levels of government including local, state/provincial, legislative, executive, judicial,
and federal agencies are counted among its constituents. By taking the initiative, APPA
has grown to become the voice for thousands of probation and parole practitioners
including line staff, supervisors and administrators. Educators, volunteers and concerned
citizens with an interest in criminal and juvenile justice are also among APPA's members.
APPA will continue to effectively provide services to its constituents. The association
represents a strong, unified voice for the field of community corrections.Mission Statement
