How to Implement the Program
  1. Contact Curtis Myers, the YMCA Model United Nations Program Director via email at curtism@ymca-bc.org or via phone (609) 351-8449 to inform him of your intent to participate and begin to recruit students for the program.  We recommend at least six (6) students to form a delegation.

  2. Submit the “Delegation Enrollment Form” along with a credential (our permission slip –signed by parent & advisor) and $100 deposit per student & teacher. This indicates the number of students that are committed to participating in the program. The Y-MUN program staff will send your committee & country assignments to you via email.

  3. Advisors should notify each student of their assigned committee & country (assign only one student to each committee/country role).

    Each student completes:
    1. Country Data Sheet
      (Two page summary of general country information)-this is for student review, it is not submitted to the program office.
    2. “Position Paper” (Two page summary of country’s position on the committee topics)-this is forwarded to the program office as Microsoft Word files and placed in folders by committee. This should be sent via a CD-rom to the program office. Specialized committees (ICC; ICJ; NBC, HSC and press corps) have alternative assignments.

  4. Each delegation should assign one (1) student per twenty (20) participants to the Youth Secretariat. These students serve as the delegation leader for your school/YMCA. Advisors & Youth Secretariat members should attend (or host) a regional training during September-October.

  5. Advisors complete the “Delegation Roster & Hotel Reservation Form” and submit along with position papers, Secretary General Candidate Form, and program fees by November 1st.

  6. Each student then prepares a Draft Resolution (document outlines the salient facts a country needs in the conference resolutions). All Draft Resolutions, ICC/ICJ briefs, Delegation Ballots and updated forms are due by December 10th.

  7. Come to Hershey, PA January 9-11, 2009 with an open mind and willingness to learn & have fun. Conference registration begins on Friday at 9am.
