Model U.N. involves simulations of UN bodies such as the Security Council and the General Assembly. Students at middle school, high school and college levels research global issues and play the role of delegates from different countries. Participants in Model U.N. simulations–called Conferences–learn to understand and respect cultural differences, to think critically, and to resolve conflicts peacefully. If you would like to start such a club or organization, please contact Tuck Green, the chairman of the chapter’s Education Outreach Committee. 

Listed below are the clubs and organizations currently participating in Model UN activities located in the West Triangle, North Carolina area served by our Chapter of the United Nations Association. The members of these clubs and organizations may also be able to help you get started and become involved in Model UN Conferences.
