3,000+ Students
The North American Invitational Model United Nations (NAIMUN) conference, hosted by the Georgetown University International Relations Association, is one of the oldest UN simulations for high school students in the world. Since 1963, the conference has been a forum where young students come from around the world. Three thousand high schools students convene for four days to explore various problems of the world and seek solutions through discussion, negotiation, and debate.
NAIMUN is the one of the most challenging, competitive, and intense Model UN conferences in the world. The All-American Model UN team has competed there since 2016, winning Best Small Delegation each year in attendance. Selection for the NAIMUN delegation is very competitive, with strong preference given to All-American alumni.
