Who is the All-American Model UN Ambassador Academy for?
Just Starting Your Model UN Journey
The Diplomacy Academy is open to high school students, from those entering ninth grade to those entering their senior year. No prior Model UN experience is needed!
Curious about International Affairs
Our students tend to have a natural curiosity about international relations, history, politics, public health, and more!
Want to Improve Your Public Speaking
We work closely with all of our students to improve their long-form speech-giving, impromptu speaking, and presenting
Learn How to be a Student Leader
Many of our students are student leaders in their schools. We equip students with resources to elevate their school Model UN teams.
Individual Attention & Feedback
Every student who attends an All-American Model UN Academy receives one-on-one feedback and coaching every day. All-American Model UN has the smallest student-to-staff ratio for Model UN summer programs. Students complete our Academies equipped with tools, tactics, and strategies that are guaranteed to improve performance.
Leadership Development
The overwhelming majority of our students either are in student leadership positions or assume leadership roles within a year of completing All-American Model UN Academies. Our programs stress four key components of leadership: emotional intelligence, pattern recognition, preparation, and advocacy.
Proven Track Record
All-American Model UN has been coaching student teams since 2011. Our teams have won Best Delegation in 98% of the conferences that we have participated in, with 90% of our students winning individual accolades. We have represented the US at conferences in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Our US travel team is considered one of the country’s best teams. We practice what we teach.
At the All-American Model UN Summer Academies, I made new friends, discovered how much I love Model UN, and learned how to win awards. I recommend attending an All-American Summer Academy to all of my classmates because it opened my eyes to what it’s like to be around people with the same passion. I’ll always be grateful for my All-American Model UN family.

Model UN Ambassador Academy Program Overview
July 14 – July 18, 2025
The All-American Model UN Ambassador Academy is our hybrid Summer Academy that teaches both traditional GA committees and crisis committees. Since 2012, we have helped students improve critical skills related to Model UN and beyond. Our lessons focus on teaching and practicing lifelong skills, including public speaking, researching, policy analysis, negotiating, and time management.
We believe Model UN is a powerful vehicle for engaging student passion, and it can be leveraged to empower students to succeed not only at Model UN conferences but also in school and career.
By the end of the week, students will be able to:
- Conduct research and develop novel solution sets to complex international issues.
- Master the flow of debate in all types of Model UN committees, including understanding GA and crisis committee debate cycles
- Give structured 30-, -45, and 60-second impromptu speeches
- Understand strategies used by the best delegates to win awards at college-hosted conferences
Lessons Include:
- Intro to General Assembly
- Intro to Crisis Committees
- Debate Flow Workshop
- Model UN Writing Lab
- Impromptu Speaking Lab
“Two things are true about the All-American Diplomacy Academy. First, you will become better. And second, you will get better at a lot of different things.”
“The mentors’ ability to foster close connections within the students is something that I’ve never had with anyone else, and I can say that everyone else has since become a great friend.”
“The Diplomacy Academy is what got me hooked on Model UN. It’s been an important part of my life ever since, and now I’m on the NAIMUN Secretariat!'”
“In addition to building my confidence in MUN, the Academy gave me a chance to research an international issue that I used in my college application.”

Our Legacy of Success
Our students differentiate themselves because of their mindset, tenacity, and desire to improve as Model UN delegates, students, and global citizens. All-American Model UN takes pride in our commitment to small academy sizes and our emphasis on community building.
We believe in building fundamental building blocks of success. Our teaching and curriculum prioritizes research and preparation, pattern recognition, emotional intelligence, and advocacy. This approach has paid dividends, as our travel team has shown. Since 2011, our teams have won team awards at 38 of 40 conferences we have attended with our students.
Outside of Model UN, our students achieve remarkable success in music, robotics, speech and debate, DECA/FLBA, mock trial, and more. Over 85% of our students attend top 75 universities, and 33% gain admissions to Ivy League schools, Stanford, the University of Chicago, and Georgetown University.
