What role does the United Nations play in promoting peace, sustainability, and human rights in a 21st-century world? The goal of MUN is to increase understanding of international issues, policymaking, and the activities of the United Nations. Students will gain skills in public speaking, research and writing, negotiation and powers of persuasion, leadership, organization, and interpersonal communication. Students will have the opportunity to represent RHS as a delegate at Model UN conferences in Portland and Eugene. This year each Riverdale delegate will have the choice of representing India or Somalia.
