ABOUT MODEL UNITED NATIONS
Originally piloted under the umbrella of Texas Youth and Government in 2010, Model United Nations launched on its own conference in 2015, hosted by the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas that welcomed delegates from YMCA MUN clubs from around the state. This program and its events allow young global leaders the opportunity to not only meet others with similar interests, but also to develop their leadership abilities, hone their speaking prowess, train critical thinking and conflict resolution skills, all while becoming better people and better leaders.
