Mock Conferences
A mock conference is an in-house simulation of a real Model UN committee session. Delegates are assigned countries, research their assigned nation’s positions, and then debate, negotiate, and draft resolutions — all under the same rules of parliamentary procedure used at official conferences. Mocks are one of the most effective ways to build the muscle memory for public speaking, lobbying, and resolution writing before you step into a competitive setting. The HS program runs mock sessions throughout the year so members can rehearse committee dynamics in a low-stakes environment. Upcoming mock conference topics and dates will be announced at weekly meetings and posted here as they are scheduled.No HS mock conferences have been scheduled yet. Check back soon — announcements will be made at Monday meetings as soon as dates are confirmed.
What to Expect
Model UN at the high school level is both intellectually demanding and genuinely fun. Here is a look at what your experience will involve:Learn Parliamentary Procedure
Every MUN committee runs on a formal set of rules — motions, yields, points of order, and caucuses. Early meetings focus on getting comfortable with this structure so it becomes second nature by the time you attend a conference.
Research Your Country and Topic
Before each conference or mock, delegates research their assigned country’s foreign policy positions on the committee topic. Strong research translates directly into stronger speeches and more persuasive resolutions.
Write a Position Paper
Most conferences require a position paper submitted in advance. You will learn how to articulate your country’s stance clearly and concisely — a skill that sharpens your writing across the board.
Debate and Negotiate in Committee
Committee sessions involve formal speeches, moderated caucuses, and unmoderated caucuses where delegates lobby and build blocs. Learning to work with — and diplomatically against — other delegates is at the heart of MUN.
Draft and Pass Resolutions
Resolutions are the formal outcome of committee work. You will learn to write operative and preambulatory clauses, merge working papers, and build consensus to get a resolution passed.
