Academy Overview
Traditional Committees
Learn our strategy and approach to traditional Model UN committees like the General Assembly and Economic and Social Council. We’ll teach out nine-part approach to large committees, review best tactics for resolution writing, and teach the most widely accepted procedure.
Crisis Committees
As the week progresses, we’ll teach the best tactics for excelling in crisis committees, including front-of-the-room interactions and directives, and back-of-the-room crisis notes and private actions.
Train Your Club
Take our training back to your school to train other members. We’ll give you a ton of resources for you to make your team competitive!
Academic Project
Throughout the week, students will work on an independent academic project, giving them the opportunity to dive into a subject matter of their choosing. By the end of the week, students will complete a paper abstract and give a 10-minute presentation on their research.
Delegate Track
Students who apply to attend the All-American Model UN Academy on the delegate track will go through our comprehensive delegate training. You’ll become versed in Model UN procedure, committee strategy, and debate and lobbying tactics. You’ll also receive individualized, one-on-one feedback from our seasoned coaches and mentors.
Director Track
Students who apply to attend the All-American Model UN Academy on the director track will go through our comprehensive chair and crisis management training. Your training will focus on chairing a Model UN committee, leadership skills, public speaking, and committee design. You’ll be assigned to a mentor to chair, vice-chair, and crisis direct all of the committees during the Academy.
MODEL UN TRAINING
Our Model UN training focuses on developing skills in each student. It’s why we cap the maximum number of students who attend the Academy each year at 20 students so that every student can receive individual feedback. The mornings will include skill workshops to be applied to the simulations later in the day.

DIPLOMACY ACADEMY ALUMNI ATTEND
“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.”
“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 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!'”
“It’s obvious All-American knows what they’re doing. They break down Model UN into small component and hone in to make sure everyone knows as much as possible. I improved 10x after the Diplomacy Academy.”

How the Waitlist Works
Students and parents may add their name to the All-American Model UN Academy waitlist to be notified when registration officially opens. Because of the COVID19 pandemic, we will only be operating the All-Amerian Model UN Academy in Boston if all staff and students are vaccinated. Once we are confident this requirement can be met, we will contact everyone on the waitlist. Students are highly recommended to apply and be accepted to All-American Model UN before the registration period opens. Students can apply anytime through our online application. Once the registration period officially opens, seats will be allotted on a first-come, first-served basis.
