Join the Team
All-American Model United Nations
Founded in 2011, All-American Model UN’s mission is to validate and legitimize the Model UN experience by encouraging parents to nurture an interest in Model UN for its inherent educational benefits, better explaining to college admissions the positive effects of accepting student immersed in Model UN, and cultivating a Model UN community that is supportive to all participants with all aims and objectives.
We currently work with over 300 students each year through various programs. The heart of All-American Model UN is our international travel team, which competes in 4-6 Model UN or Model government conferences each year; we also organize a newly formed US Model UN travel team. Additionally, we offer a week-long summer training program called the Diplomacy Academy, publish a monthly digital Model UN magazine and weekly podcast, and host a two-day free Model UN conference.
