The session will be lead by Terry Wunder from MH HQ, and then you will receive support to host up to two events a month and with up to $150 subsidy for each.

This event is specifically for people 22-32 who wish to become MHWOW hosts and will cover the details about how to use the online system, submit receipts, etc.

All current MHWOW hosts are very much encouraged to attend as well. You are the rock stars pioneers and we need you to share your insight and wisdom. There will be light food and drink for all!
