Yale Model United Nations is a four-day international relations simulation for over 2000 high school students, typically held on Yale University’s campus in New Haven. At YMUN, delegates from all over the world interact with one another through debate and diplomacy to solve complex challenges facing the world today. At virtual YMUN, delegates will have the same opportunity to take on roles of UN representatives, policymakers, and important figures at our virtual conference and learn about the inner workings of global politics and problem-solving. By engaging in topics concerning international and national security, political and economic development, human rights, sustainability, and more, delegates learn to navigate the intricacies of international negotiation and teamwork, adopt new perspectives, and develop comprehensive resolutions on pressing global issues.

National Model United Nations (NMUN) started as a Model League of Nations in 1927. For over a century, we have provided quality college/university level Model United Nations (MUN) conference programs that bring together the next generation of international leaders. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. For more details, visit our website: https://www.nmun.org/about-nmun/mission-and-history.html or contact us at info@nmun.org. Our Mission To advance understanding of the UN and contemporary global issues through quality educational programs that emphasize collaboration and cooperative conflict resolution and prepare participants for active global citizenship. We envision a world comprised of civically engaged people who strive for peaceful, multilateral conflict resolution and equitable, sustainable human development. Guiding Principle Cooperative, hands-on, experiential learning allows students to confront a range of topics with the perspective of their assigned country or organization. Through these experiences - during preparation, committee sessions, and hallway caucuses - students develop an appreciation of differing viewpoints, experience the challenges of negotiation, see the rewards of cooperation, broaden their world view, and discover the human side of international relations and diplomacy.
