About the Program
YMCA Model United Nations helps middle school students understand the world through an experience-based model. Students collaborate to develop solutions to real-world issues, present ideas to peers and experts, and gain appreciation for diverse cultures while learning the history and purpose of the UN.
Important Update
Model UN will not be offered in 2025, but we’re excited to return in 2026!
