Who Volunteers

NMUN is staffed by more than 100 volunteers who work as part of a diverse, international team.  We seek enthusiastic NMUN alumni willing to help organize future NMUNs.  Applications from both undergraduates and those with degrees are encouraged.  Many staff members are current graduate students. Prior NMUN staff experience is preferred or required for programs outside New York where less training is offered.

Take Your Involvement to a New Level
Consider applying for a position on the volunteer staff of the National Model United Nations!

Each year, NMUN needs experienced former delegates to help organize and run the Conference. Positions include Committee Directors, Assistant Directors and Office Staff. Put your research and/or organizational skills to use by helping develop preparation materials and staff the Conference.

Opportunities and Applications are listed to the left.

Why Volunteer

Staff members build skills in facilitation of debate, conflict resolution, and customer service while learning alongside delegates about emerging global issues.

Build your résumé! We offer publishing credit for the written background materials and professional experience organizing and staffing the world’s largest university-level simulation of the United Nations. 

The greatest reward: lifelong friendships formed among volunteers. You can be part of an international volunteer staff committed to the ideals of the United Nations!
