Through public speaking, critical thinking, and in-depth research, the Model UN experience allows students to cultivate skills and enrich their global affairs knowledge. UNA-USA is dedicated to empowering young Americans with tools and experiences that prepare them to be the next generation of global leaders. Our local chapters encourage students in their communities to participate in Model UN programming. Today, UNA-USA, in partnership with local chapters, operates Model UN Conferences in Boston, Washington, D.C., Houston, Tampa, New York City and other communities. Contact your local UNA-USA Chapter to determine their level of involvement in Model UN.
The MyDiplomat app is a free education resource that will connect users with world issues at the forefront of UN policy debate. Simulations place a group of individuals in the shoes of diplomats, challenging them to think and speak about global issues from the perspective of another country’s ambassador. MyDiplomat is a fun, interactive way to learn about the UN while practicing important skills such as decision making, effective communication and critical thinking.
