Our Story
The MUNify Project was founded by a group of students who noticed a gap in access to Model UN, an experience often limited to elite schools and students from privileged backgrounds.
We started with one goal: to make MUN accessible for students who don’t usually get the opportunity to participate.
Since our first event, we’ve grown into a network of schools, volunteers, and mentors working together to host MUN conferences, training sessions, and MUN workshops for students across the city.
