The YMCA Model United Nations Program is designed to introduce students to the operation and structure of the United Nations while providing them with an opportunity to actively learn about world cultures and debate issues of international importance. Students will actively participate in conflict resolution, public speaking, and coalition building, in addition to making new friends and being exposed to new ideas. The program promotes leadership through character development, while introducing students to a vast array of ideas.

The caliber of the YMCA Model United Nations Program is built upon the quality of work and preparation performed by the individual student prior to attending the conference. Our program is an excellent learning situation when students participate to the fullest extent of their abilities. If students are not adequately prepared, they will not enjoy the experience and will inhibit others from enjoying the full benefits of the program.
