Model United Nations (MUN)

Model United Nations is an engaging and educational program that allows students to step into the shoes of diplomats from around the world. Through research, debate, and negotiation, participants gain a deeper understanding of international affairs, develop critical thinking skills, and enhance their public speaking abilities.

Our MUN program goes beyond traditional classroom learning. It offers a dynamic and interactive platform for students to explore global issues, build leadership skills, and foster a sense of community. Our staff guides participants through the process, ensuring a supportive and enriching experience.

Program Highlights

  • Educational Experience: Students will delve into real-world issues, research current topics, and present their findings in a model United Nations conference setting.
  • Skill Development: Participants will enhance their public speaking, critical thinking, and negotiation skills – valuable academic and personal growth assets. 
  • Team Building: The program promotes collaboration and teamwork, allowing students to form lasting connections with peers who share similar interests.
  • Global Awareness: YMCA MUN provides a unique opportunity for students to broaden their perspectives and develop a better understanding of diverse cultures and global challenges.
