Welcome to the official homepage of the Arkansas Model United Nations (AMUN) program! Since its founding in 1966, the AMUN program has involved the participation of thousands of high school students throughout Arkansas and neighboring states. Throughout the past
four decades,
the AMUN Conference has been one of the oldest and largest Model UN conferences in the country.
The AMUN Conference is currently co-sponsored by the Model United Nations (MUN)
student organizations at Hendrix College, University of Arkansas-Little
Rock, and the University of Central Arkansas.
The AMUN is a multi-disciplinary, educational program with the primary goal of providing high
school students with a unique opportunity to enhance their communication
skills, improve their critical thinking skills, and increase their understanding of diplomacy and international
politics. The annual AMUN Conference provides a setting in which
students are able to simulate representatives of various countries throughout the
world in the decision-making bodies of the United Nations.
Students who participate in the AMUN conference will develop an appreciation for the social, political, and economic systems of their respective countries. Students are also able to gain an understanding of the history and structure of the United Nations. The most important lesson that the students will have the opportunity to learn is the importance of cooperation in dealing with global problems.
Each November, the annual AMUN Conference is held on the campus of the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, Arkansas. We encourage all high schools that currently have a Model United Nations (MUN) program or are interested in developing a Model United Nations (MUN) program to participate in the annual AMUN Conference! Depending on their level of experience, high school students may participate as pages, delegates, or observers!
If you are interested in
participating in the AMUN Conference, please take a look at the

questions that you have. We will be more than glad to assist you!
