TESTIMONIALS
“All-American Model UN gave me a way to explore the world without feeling like a typical tourist. Not only did I win an award in my first crisis committee, Frank taught me to improve my speaking, leadership, and collaboration skills.”
“I couldn’t have wished for better memories than with All-American. I learned so much about history, politics, and cultures, and also multiple awards at conferences!”
“I’m so thankful that I found out about All-American Model UN. I could only participate on one program before I graduated, but I really wish I could have done more. Frank really cares about all of his students and will do anything to help us get better. I would recommend All-American to anyone interested in getting better!”
