Register now for the Third Annual Conference on Unaccompanied Immigrant Children. The conference brings together legal advocates from both private and nonprofit organizations, government representatives, and policy makers across the country to examine current challenges, best practices, and policies that impact the lives of unaccompanied immigrant children. In addition, it provides an excellent opportunity for advocates to learn more about legal issues facing immigrant children, build useful skills, and brainstorm new ideas on ways to further the protection of unaccompanied immigrant children in the United States.

PLUS: The Second Migration & Child Welfare National Network Conference (MCWNN) will take place in Chicago on April 1-3, 2008. Registrants from the Conference on Unaccompanied Immigrant Children will receive free admission to a special joint session with MCWNN on the morning of April 3. This session provides participants a rare opportunity to further the existing discussions regarding the relationship between immigration and the child welfare system and develop holistic models that will help us all better serve the needs of immigrant youth.
