The definition of fun is basically Model United Nations (MUN) for it is like a middle school version of the actual United Nations. In MUN, you can roll as an ambassador of a country, journalist, or part of a advocacy group. Since this is similar to the United Nations, students participating in this will research, debate and conjure resolutions to certain international problems that are currently affecting the world.
Just with one year of the MUN is able to increase
- Confidence in oneself
- Speech and Debate Skills
- Leadership ability
- and the number of friends (it is not just one friend... it's a CRAP TON OF AMAZING PEOPLE!)
Using the United Nations as the model, the chain of command in the MUN is very big. From my experience from General Assembly, this is how it works from lowest to highest.
Regular Delegate of General Assembly
The Delegates are basically your average ambassador. Everyone is this when they join if they didn't apply for a position. Every delegate is part of one of the committees and part of the General Assembly if they sign up for General Assembly
General Assembly Committee Chair
The Committee Chair oversees their committee and makes sure that their committee creates a resolution for the General Assembly to hear. This is an appointed position, so in order to become Committee Chair, the person must be interviewed by the staff of General Assembly and get accepted.
General Assembly Vice President
The Vice President helps out with the President oversee the General Assembly and takes over if President is not available. This is an elected position, so the person must campaign, persuade his/her fellow delegates to vote for him/her, and gets the most amount of votes to get the position.
General Assembly President
The President oversees the entire General Assembly. This is an elected position like the Vice President.
(Every position below this sentence is part of an organ called the Office of Secretary General. Even though in a different organ, these three positions works with General Assembly )
Assistant Secretary General of General Assembly Affairs
The Assistant reports to the Deputy, helps out the Secretary General and the Deputy, and deliver the opinion of the Office of Secretary General on the topics that the General Assembly is working on to the General Assembly. This is an appointed position, but tougher to get. The staff of the Office of Secretary General, the Chef-de-Cabinet (equals to Deputy), Deputy, and the Secretary General interviews you.
Deputy Secretary General
The Deputy is the right hand man of the Secretary General and the Assistant reports to him/her. This is an appointed position, but extremely difficult to get. You must be picked by the Secretary General him/herself and usually who gets this position is the runner-up for Secretary General.
Secretary General
The Secretary General oversees the entire MUN. This is an elected position. To get it, the person must campaign and get the most amount of votes in the entire MUN program to be Secretary General.
