Students in Model UN gain a wide range of skills and information critical to their success in middle school, high school, college, and beyond. Students learn public speaking and deliver their first speech in front of an audience. They hone their research skills and synthesize information from all over the world. They practice how to write policies, and learn about cultures they never even knew existed.
However, just as important, students will learn critical social skills that will help them throughout life. Whether it’s learning to discuss complex issues and compromise, or learning how to be a leader for the first time, many students will “find their voice” through Model UN, and realize their leadership potential and social ability. Model UN helps students build the Confidence to succeed.

This experience will provide guidance and support for the development of an inaugural Model United Nations program at your school, as well as the opportunity to connect with current Middle School Model UN leaders to share ideas and collaborate in order to strengthen and expand these programs.
The Red Oaks School is planning on hosting a Middle School MUN Conference in March of 2024. Schools attending this roundtable will have the opportunity to participate.
