UN Youth is looking for committed tertiary students to take on a key role in organising Wellington’s flagship event for secondary school students in 2022: Wellington Model United Nations (WMUN).
Wellington Model United Nations provides an opportunity for secondary school students to engage in civics education and develop their awareness of global affairs. Stepping into the roles of delegates representing various member states, participants are challenged to engage with alternative perspectives and to critically analyse and discuss issues ranging from climate change to automation.
This event is one of the most important in UN Youth Wellington’s calendar for the year, and is an excellent opportunity for volunteers to develop skills. Volunteers will learn important organisational skills through this committee, including working within budgets, managing relationships with external parties and creating educational content and strategies. These skills transfer well both in terms of further volunteer work and professional development.
Positions available:
Coordinator, Communications Officer, Logistics Officer and Education Officer.
