How to Participate
  1. Contact Curtis Myers, the YMCA Model United Nations Program Director via email at curtism@ymca-bc.org or via phone (609) 351-8449 to inform him of your intent to participate and begin to recruit students for the program.  We recommend at least six (6) students to form a delegation.

  2. Submit the “Country Request Form”along with a delegate credential (Our permission slip –signed by parent & advisor) and $50 deposit per student. This indicates the number of students that are committed to participating in the program.  The MUN program staff will send your country & committee assignments to you via email.

  3. Advisors should notify students of their selected country(s) and assign them to one of the committees designated for each country. ASSIGN ONLY ONE STUDENT TO EACH ROLE WITHIN A COUNTRY. Please see “Country Committee Assignment List” in the Download Conference Forms Section for the committees designated to each country.

    Each country (group of students) prepares a Country Data Sheet
    Two page summary of general country information (for own review – do not submit)

    Each student completes
    “Position Paper” (Two page summary of country’s position on the committee topics)-this is forwarded to the program office as Microsoft Word files and placed in folders by committee.  This should be sent via a CD-rom or floppy disk to the program office. Specialized committees (ICC; ICJ; NBC, HSC and press corps) have alternative assignments.

  4. Each delegation should assign one (1) student per twenty (20) participants to the youth secretariat. These students serve as the delegation leader for your school/YMCA.  They must attend the youth secretariat orientation meeting on September 23, 2007.
