MODEL UN

Model United Nations is an authentic simulation of the UN that introduces students to the world of diplomacy, negotiation, and decision making.  In an interest to resolve global problems, such as peace and security, human rights, the environment, food and hunger, economic development, and globalization, Model UN students, known as "delegates", attend conferences to resolve global concerns.  They strengthen their skills as they debate current issues, prepare draft resolutions, plot strategy, negotiate with supporters and adversaries, and navigate the UN's rules of procedure.

It is a student-led group that seeks to engage, equip, and empower students to know and grow in Christ and lead others to do the same.  FCA meets once a week for 30-45 mins.
