Registration Info

This program is free to youth defenders! We do ask that registrants commit to attending by April 3, 2026, and let us know by that same date if they register and find they are unable to attend. A light breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be provided throughout the day of the program. Parking will also be provided for attendees.

JDRC is pleased to be able to provide free hotel accommodations at Starved Rock Lodge for the night of Thursday, April 9, 2026, for those traveling longer distances to the conference. If you are requesting overnight accommodations, please register by March 10, 2026. In the event that we reach hotel room capacity, priority for hotel rooms will be given to those traveling the furthest distances.
