What are APPA Institutes?
What is APPA?
The American Probation and Parole Association is an international
association composed of individuals from the United States, its territories
and Canada who are 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. The
association represents a strong, unified voice for the field of community
corrections.
What's a Training Institute?
APPA’s Training Institutes are national conferences that consist of educational workshops, intensive training programs, special sessions and the resource expo designed specifically for community corrections. The Institutes’ workshops and sessions are developed by planning committees that research and address the critical issues facing the community corrections profession. APPA Institutes provide a forum to discuss the newest theories, examine advanced technology, develop creative solutions and network with colleagues.
