Model United Nations (MUN) is an educational simulation of the United Nations’ General Assembly and the U.N.’s other multilateral bodies in which students learn about diplomacy, international relations, and the United Nations. At a MUN conference, students work as the representative of a country, organization, or person, and must solve a problem with other delegates from around the world. MUN teaches participants skills like research, public speaking, debating, and writing, in addition to critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership. 

All students who are interested in promoting peace & security of the world, and in obtaining a hands-on experience of the United Nations delegation may join the THS team. Tuscarora MUN team has been participating in various MUN conferences sponsored by local high schools and colleges since 2012. The THS team also travels to colleges such as The College of William & Mary, American University, The University of Virginia, Georgetown University, and Harvard University.

Model U.N. is the perfect opportunity to get involved, get passionate, and understand the world around you. The skills you will gain in conflict resolution, public speaking, diplomacy and writing — and the friendships you will build — will last you a lifetime. No matter what path you choose in high school, college and beyond, Model UN can help you get there!
