Student Diplomat Program Registration Page

Thank you for your interest in our 2011-12 Student Diplomat Program. By participating in this five-month journey into the world of international relations and diplomacy, your students gain a deeper appreciation of global issues and trends, cultural diversity and United Nations operations.

Our fee for this program is $25 per student. Please feel free to contact the Council for more information.

What to Know Before Registering

This year’s committee topics are Child and Maternal Health, The Situation in Somalia: Crisis and Recovery, and Water Scarcity.  All countries in the Jr. Model UN will have representatives in each committee. Additionally, the students representing each country will be divided as evenly as possible across the three committees.

Ideally, each country will have 6 student delegates, with 2 delegates sitting on each of the 3 committees.  Thus, if you have 25 students, you will have 4 countries total, 3 with 6 students and 1 with 7 students.  If you find you have additional student delegates, in other words if your total student participation is not a multiple of 6, kindly communicate to us which country and committee will have the extra student.  

If, after assigning your students to countries, you have a group of four or less students remaining, tell us in the final comment box to which country(s) and committee(s) these additional students will be assigned. (i.e., if you have three remaining students you could write the following in the comments section: “I will assign one extra student to Somalia’s Maternal Health Committee, one extra student to Guam’s Somalia Committee, and one to Ghana’s Water Scarcity Committee). Please do not select another country with only three representatives. Conversely, if you have 5 additional students remaining, you can assign them an additional country, keeping in mind that in this case, one committee will be represented by only one delegate. As with the other example, this breakdown should be communicated in the comments section at the end of the form.

Because of the growing popularity of this program, we request that all interested schools complete and submit the attached application no later than Friday, November 11.  Due to capacity limitations of our hosting venues, we are limited in the number of schools we can accommodate.  Our selection process is based not only on past participation, but also on the quality and level of support you bring to the program, including the means by which you intend to integrate or enrich this program in your classroom or club setting.
