UNA-GB Model United Nations Program
In Model UN, students step into the shoes of ambassadors from UN member states to debate current issues on the organization's vast agenda. Student "delegates" in Model UN prepare draft resolutions, plot strategy, negotiate with supporters and adversaries, resolve conflicts, and navigate the UN's rules of procedure-all in the interest of mobilizing "international cooperation" to resolve problems that affect countries all over the world.

UNA-GB works with teachers and students to proved access to Model UN activities and resources to enrich students’ learning.  UNA-GB Model UN is an innovative educational program that engages public middle school and high school students in an exploration of current world issues through interactive simulations and curricular materials.  Model UN cultivates literacy and leadership as students explore important topics such as peacekeeping, trade, resource management and human rights.

UNA-GB provides free resources and support to urban public schools free of charge. To learn more about participation in the program, contact the Education Staff at 617-482-4587 or education@unagb.org.
