Summer Institute in Global Leadership: Advanced Leadership
The United Nations Association of Greater Boston's Summer Institute in Global Leadership is a week-long Model UN program for students from all over to work together and address global issues.
Advanced Institutes bring together older students who are passionate about global issues and are in, or aspire to be in, leadership roles that demand advance communication skills.
Participants will benefit from additional opportunities to engage with impactful guest speakers and a more focused approach to skill-building exercises, strengthening their ability to analyze complex problems, speak contemporaneously, and forge partnerships. This is a unique opportunity for delegates to refine their leadership style and develop key skills that will serve them in the classroom and beyond.
If you've already signed up for another week of the Summer Institute, consider pairing it with our Advanced Leadership program to maximize your experience and broaden your leadership horizons!
Note: This week is only open to students entering grades 9 -12. Experience with the traditional Model UN format is encouraged.

What is Model UN?
In Model UN, participants learn about a global issue and are assigned to represent a specific country. In a simulation that mirrors a UN committee session, students (or delegates, as we refer to them!) give speeches, engage in formal debate, collaborate and negotiate ideas, draft solutions (referred to in Model UN as "resolutions"), and vote. Using parliamentary procedure to structure debate (just like the real UN!), students have the opportunity to build skills for life and leadership while learning about a complex global issue.
