Why is Model UN important?

Model United Nations is an academic, global learning experience in which high school students:

acquire skills in public speaking, negotiation, and conflict resolution
develop an appreciation of differing viewpoints
interact with peers in an atmosphere of respect and civility
learn about diplomacy, international relations, and the United Nations
represent a world nation as a delegate at a regional Model UN Conference
gain an understanding of being a world citizen

Volunteer for Model UN

The impact of the Model UN stays with the students for the rest of their lives. Many students keep tract of the country they studied for years to come and it has inspired some students to delve deeper into global studies and choose careers in foreign service. Globally informed youth is more important now than ever before.

A special thanks to the Bargain Box for supporting the 2022 Model UN program. Their funding provided full scholarships to some students who would not have been able to participate, as well as large world maps for the classrooms.

If you’d like to volunteer by sharing your knowledge of a world nation, or region with high school students, please fill out the Volunteer Form or contact WACHH at wachhi@gmail.com.
