High School Model UN dates are set for the fall of 2022. The first important event will be the Country Draft on Saturday, October 8 from 10:00 am until noon at Webster University. Everyone is welcome to attend, but only one person from each school group is required to attend.

As of now, Civitas is planning for all three fall sessions to be held in person at Webster University. On Saturday, November 19, there will be a session in the morning (9:00 am until noon) and a separate session in the afternoon from 1:00 pm until noon.The third session will be held the morning of Saturday, December 3. Each school group or individual participant attends just one session.

Watch for our "Welcome Back" email in September with details about the program. If you would like to be added to that email list as a teacher sponsor or  school group leader, please email Stephanie at gavinstephanie89@gmail.com. We will also have important info in our weekly newsletter and on our website beginning in September.

Enjoy your summer!
