CTMUN is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. Support and Donations for our programs are welcome at any time.
Model United Nations is an authentic simulation of the U.N. General Assembly and other multilateral and foreign policymaking bodies. Simulating international organizations has been a cornerstone of academic competition and inquiry even before the founding of the United Nations, when students held a series of Model League of Nations in the 1920s. High schools, colleges and universities across the country have been joining the debate since 1945, growing the popularity of Model U.N. internationally: more than 250,000 high school and college/university students worldwide participate every year. Model UN delegates generally go on to apply their skills and perspective gained with debate in business, politics, media and academia as leaders and entrepreneurs with a polished perspective of the global environment.
