For Schools, Youth Programs, Clubs, Teams & Community Groups
The Military Child World Expo welcomes student groups from across the region, across the country, and across the globe. Whether you are a school, a youth center, a homeschool network, a JROTC unit, a recreation program, or a community organization, your group is invited to be part of this movement.
This is not a standard field trip. This is an experience of identity, belonging, cultural expression, creativity, and youth leadership.
