SIXTEEN YEARS OF LESSONS
Model United Nations is an incredibly powerful learning vehicle that emphasizes research, debate, public speaking, analysis, leadership, and negotiation. Through the activity, I’ve seen my students grow into confident student leaders that go onto impact the world in real ways. Model United Nations has always been the hook. When I look at what our alumni are doing in the world– Oxford scholars, Fullbright scholars, commissioned officers in the US Army and Navy, tech startup founders, Berkeley and Harvard Law School graduates– I can’t help but beam with pride. What makes All-American Model UN so special is that our community continues to give back and stay connected.
Frank Pobutkiewicz | Founder + Director, All-American Model United Nations
Frank and the All-American team are the epitome of professional, high-quality Model United Nations training. With their help, I’ve gone on to have great success at highly competitive conferences, and have strengthened my overall skills as a delegate and a public speaker. I capped off my senior years winning Best Delegate at HMUN and NAIMUN.
More than just Model UN, Frank wants all of his students to excel in every aspect of their life. I learned so much about Model UN, but also about international politics, economics, and international law. All-American Model UN has the foundation and starting point for my education and future career ambitions.

Virtual Instruction
All sessions will take place over Zoom and other remote learning technologies. Students will never need to pay for services used during the program.
Small Committees
Committees will have no more than 20 students to ensure everyone has individual attention. We will run as many committees as needed to ensure a small committee size. If students are unable to attend a weekly session, they will have access to a recording of it and will be given all materials.
What if I have to miss a week?
If you have to miss a week, it’s no problem! Please let the Director know so that we can properly assign positions for each of the committees.

COVID-19 & Moving Forward
Since 2011, All-American Model United Nations has been training and traveling with students to international and national Model United Nations competitions. With the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to be dedicated to providing the best educational experience possible, while keeping our students and staff safe. In 2020, we operated three week-long Academies and received high praise and feedback from our students.
All-American Model UN is designed to help push students to achieve new heights despite the remote learning conditions. Our sincerest hope is to return to attending conferences around the world once it is proven safe.
