April 2 - 4, 2025

NLADA recently held a successful Train the Trainer pre-conference program at our 2025 Annual Conference in Atlanta. With the help of our featured “Visiting Dean”, Ama Agyapong (“That Inclusion Lady” on the socials), we brought the program to the next level this year. Students were given the opportunity to put into practice what they were learning by leading and facilitating program content throughout the 3 days. The Train the Trainer program continues to be the go-to trainer development program for public defenders and legal aid attorneys. Going beyond the standard train the trainer content, it incorporates antiracism principles and highlights the importance of accessibility and inclusion practices.  

We are excited to announce a Virtual Train the Trainer on April 2nd - 4th. This is a great opportunity for participants to engage in this popular program in a virtual setting. Please check the Learning Lab for updates as they develop. Registration is now open.
