MODEL UNITED NATIONS

Skills for college, career, and civic life

What is Model UN?

Debate global issues. Negotiate solutions. Build consensus.

The Experience

Students take on the role of United Nations ambassadors, representing member states as they tackle real-world challenges. They research their country's positions, debate policies in committee, negotiate, and work to build consensus across different perspectives.

This experience builds the foundation for informed, responsible, and active citizens.

Essential Skills

Model UN develops skills students use in school, careers, and civic life:

Research and information literacy
Critical thinking and analytical problem-solving
Public speaking and civil discourse
Negotiation and collaborative conflict resolution
Cross-cultural understanding and global awareness
