WEEKLY CLUB MEETINGS

Every Monday, we hold online session for all students enrolled in MUN Club. Each week, we will discuss a current event, explore a UN body or IGO, and go through a training activity.

Weekly training seminars are the backbone of the online Model UN Club. During our weekly check-ins, the Director of All-American Model UN will lead an interactive hour-long session designed to cover not only Model United Nations but also current events and international affairs.

The training workshops will always begin with an open discussion of one international current event. We believe that those students who excel at Model United Nations have a well-versed understanding of global trade, international politics, sustainable development, the UN system, and cultural exposure.

After our current event discussion, we will explore a part of the United Nations or another intergovernmental organization, such as NATO or OPEC. Finally, we will spend the bulk of the weekly training seminars going through an instructive exercise designed to strengthen a particular aspect of being a Model United Nations delegate.

ONE-ON-ONE COACHING

Work with the All-American Model UN Director to go over conference strategy, practice debating, and discuss policy research.

Students enrolled Online Model UN Club will have the chance to work directly with the All-American Model UN Director every month. This one-on-one session is student-driven– it can be used to discuss upcoming conferences, training school teams, practice debating, or discuss political events.

Once enrolled, students will be given instructions to book time on the Director’s schedule all online. One-on-one coaching can take place over the phone, Skype, or another platform.

PROVEN RESULTS

Not only has our training produced seven years of winning Best Delegation awards and 95% individual award rate on All-American travel teams, but we’ve also helped high schools around the US win.

First, our training was exclusive to only students accepted and enrolled in All-American Model United Nations programs. Since 2011, our teams have won delegation awards at every conference that we’ve attended, and our students place a staggering 95% of the time. For three consecutive years, from 2016-2018, the All-American Model UN team won Best Small Delegation at Georgetown’s North American Invitational Model UN (NAIMUN) conference in Washington, D.C.

We’ve been training high school teams around the country for years. With our research and training techniques, we’ve helped school teams win delegation awards at some of the top conferences in the country, including YMUN, BosMUN, and WAMUNC.

Now, we’re bringing our training online to individual students across the country!

Our philosophy revolves around four pillars:

• Research and Preparation– All-American Model UN places a premium on research and pre-conference preparation. Students will be taught how to research complex international issues, analyze past actions taken, and develop new, novel approaches for solving some of the world’s biggest challenges.
• Pattern Recognition- Model UN conferences, whether one day or five days, follow the same pattern or cycle. The training program will divulge the “secret” pattern behind Model UN conferences and teach students how to best develop a strategy to succeed.
• Emotional Intelligence- Model UN teaches grit, determination, leadership, and team building. To better understand these skills, All-American Model UN believes in teaching emotional intelligence to its students.
• Confidence- We believe that practice builds confidence. Rather than constantly run mock simulations, we break Model UN down into smaller, more digestible segments. We approach Model UN education like baseball or basketball practice–you don’t constantly scrimmage during every practice, but instead, you work on individual drills to apply to game situations.

WEEKLY OVERVIEW

Every week offers different learning lessons for students regardless of experience. At the start of each month, students and parents will receive outlines of seminar lessons for that month.

We’ve structured the Online Club so that students can join and start the program at any point during the year. We’ll review materials in such a way that students will get the whole benefit of our training, regardless of when they join.

For Model UN training, we’ll alternate every month between traditional committee structures and crisis committee structure.

INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION, SMALL CLASS SIZE

Only sixteen students will be enrolled in the All-American Model UN Club at any time to ensure that the Director can pay individual attention to every student.

The MUN Club training is about realizing your full potential as a delegate and student. The only way to ensure that every student receives individualized attention is to limit class sizes. No more than sixteen students will be enrolled in the Model UN Club. Seats will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

All students enrolled in the Model UN Club will have direct access to the Director through various messaging apps, including our online Slack community. Students may ask the Director questions about Model UN at any time through these channels, including during Model UN conference weekends. By enrolling, you’ll have years of Model UN experience at your fingertips!
