We are pleased to announce that this year’s ninth Junior Academy Model United Nations (JAMUN) conference will be hosted in-person by the Bergen County Academies in Hackensack NJ on Saturday, May 13th, 2023! The Secretariat have worked to provide your students with an informative and engaging experience in diplomacy, current events, problem-solving, public speaking, and international affairs this year. 

Junior Academy Model United Nations, or JAMUN, is a conference for specifically upper elementary students (5th-8th). Our focus is to expose students to the fundamentals of Model UN, and allow them to foster their public speaking and diplomacy skills before entering the HS Model UN environment and their professional lives. Our conference is a great experience for students to gain confidence in their abilities and to improve and practice their communication skills. With aspects such as research guides and training sessions provided beforehand, JAMUN is a wonderful opportunity for all students, especially those with no prior MUN or public speaking experience.
