Our student Presiding Officers lead each KUNA, but YMCA Staff, teachers, and volunteer advisors are always present to keep things running smoothly and safely.

Each delegation is required to bring at least 1 advisor per 25 students

KUNA is held at Marriott or Crowne Plaza Hotels in Louisville, Kentucky. Sleeping rooms may overflow to nearby hotels.

Students in Grades 6-8 attend Middle School KUNA. Your delegation may choose which conference to attend based upon which dates work best for you on a first come, first serve basis.

Students in Grades 9-12 will attend High School KUNA. Your delegation may choose which conference to attend based upon which dates work best for you on a first come, first serve basis.

*If your school has a Presiding Officer, you must intent and register for the conference in which they were elected.
