Engaging Statewide Experiences

Beyond weekly meetings, students join statewide events, connecting with middle schoolers from other YMCAs. The curriculum includes Model UN orientation, leadership workshops, public speaking, and cultural awareness. Delegates receive role training, meet program staff, and network with peers.
At the Model United Nations Summit, ambassadors step into UN roles, debating global issues and applying their research. This hands-on experience deepens their understanding of international affairs and leadership.
