MODEL UNITED NATIONS
(YMCA of Greater Monmouth County Delegation)
The Model United Nations program (also called Model UN or MUN) affords high school students the opportunity to research and debate issues of international importance. Each year the YMCA of Greater Monmouth County’s Model UN Club has the privilege of debating other teams on their selected issues. Students gain an appreciation of international affairs and cultural differences. The program culminates at the YMCA Model United Nations Conference, held every January in Hershey, PA (held virtually in January 2021.) The program occurs during the school year and is open to high school and middle school students from 6th to 12th grade.

YOUTH & GOVERNMENT
(YMCA of Greater Monmouth County Delegation)
The YMCA’s Youth & Government program affords high school students the opportunity to write their own legislative bill. Students spend one weekend a year with other teen teams from throughout New Jersey to debate and secure passage of their proposed bill in the actual New Jersey Senate/House Chambers in Trenton.
The young people in Youth & Government learn how to solve issues including: environmental, educational, commercial, business, community affairs, governmental, and more. They come away from the program with increased awareness and understanding of our political process, as well as heightened problem solving and critical thinking skills.
