Each committee at Y-MUN is chaired by high school students, not college advisors. These student officers, led by a Secretary-General elected by the entire program, develop committee topics and conference initiatives each year guided by volunteer staff. Y-MUN relies on a group of volunteers to design, plan, and execute the program each year. These volunteer leaders are all alumni of Y-MUN, so their dedication to the program extends to ensure that each delegate has the experience that brings them back year after year.
Middle school students or "delegates" will come together in delegations and participate in the program with peers from across California. They are given the opportunity to discuss international issues, discover other cultures, develop life-enhancing skills, and make new friends. The four-month program culminates when delegates from around the state convene for the Model United Nations Summit. There, delegates represent assigned countries as ambassadors and work to solve global issues with the skills they have acquired.
Students participate in the program through their local delegations. Delegations are formed through YMCAs, schools, or other youth-affiliated programs. Youth delegates meet weekly to discuss current news, deepen their understanding of civic engagement, and prepare for events and projects. Meetings use large groups and small breakout group time based on weekly lesson format. We will be utilizing virtual platforms; Google Classroom and Zoom. If you have any issues or questions in this stage, please reach out to the Customer Service Center.
