YMCA TEXAS MODEL UNITED NATIONS
YMCA Texas Model United Nations is a youth development program in which students in grades 6-12 simulate the United Nations, stepping into the role of Member States' ambassadors and meeting to solve pressing global problems through the art of compromise and diplomacy. Join us and change your world! Through regional summits and the annual state conference, delegates collaborate with peers and participate in enriching committee simulations. These conferences enhance diplomatic and leadership skills and foster a supportive community of young change-makers dedicated to making a worldwide impact.
Delegates can participate in a variety of committee simulations, including several General Assemblies, ECOSOC, Security Council, and more! TXMUN delegates with a year or more of program experience can participate in the TXMUN Media Corps, lead committees, and even run for Secretariat roles.

ABOUT TEXAS MODEL UNITED NATIONS
Originally piloted under the umbrella of Texas Youth and Government in 2010, Model United Nations launched its own conference in 2015, hosted by the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas, and 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, gain confidence through public speaking, and train critical thinking and conflict resolution skills, all while becoming better people and better leaders.
