Move United Junior National Seeks Host City in 2023

The ideal location has accessible venues/hotel properties and is an attractive & affordable vacation destination for families attending the event. This is a great opportunity for member organizations to highlight their program and community but also partner with other organizations in your backyard. Bids are being accepted until 10/15.
