Compete at Model UN Conferences
We compete at conferences in the US and worldwide with our #1 ranked MUN team.
More Info
The heart of the All-American Model UN cohort program is that students may enroll on teams that will compete at some of the best Model UN conferences in the world.
Most of our students join All-American Model UN because they are looking for additional support and opportunities not afforded them by their school program.
We have been traveling with teams of students for over ten years across four continents. Safety and security are our top priorities.
Overview
Founded in 2012, All-American Model United Nations has worked with over 250 high-potential, high-performance high school students to use Model United Nations to engage student academic passions. Starting in 2023, we are transitioning to a cohort-based program. Accepted students will meet with our team of mentors twice a month regardless of whether they are currently enrolled on a travel team.
We will work with every student to develop an individual learning plan to track progress throughout their time with All-American Model UN. We leverage Circle’s custom built-out technology platform to share files, set up virtual training sessions, track progress, and manage communication.
Training Acceptance
Students offered a training acceptance have demonstrated a passion for Model UN and high academic performance. A Training Acceptance allows students to join the annual cohort and train with the travel team. When the All-American Model UN Program Director assesses that the student is prepared to compete, they will be fully accepted. To gain full acceptance, students must demonstrate six competencies: researching, solution development, document writing, impromptu speaking, debate, and presentation.
Full Acceptance
Students offered a full acceptance have demonstrated consistent, award-winning Model UN performance, extracurricular leadership, and high academic standing. A full acceptance allows students to compete with All-American Model UN on any travel team until college matriculation. To earn full acceptance, students either must successfully complete a Summer Academy or submit an online application.
Deadlines
Fall Deadline: September 15, 2023
