The CYV staff are happy to help guide you through the process if you have questions on how to register. Model UN registration is done by delegation, with several groups within a delegation being possible. 

Please note: You are not eligible for country selection until all members of your country group have completed Steps 1-3 as outlined below. 

Are you new to Model United Nations? Do you have questions? Get in touch with the nearest Model UN Delegation Director or contact the CYV State Office. 

Student/Parent Registration

Before beginning registration, please gather the following: 

  • Credit Card – You will need to pay a deposit via credit card. If other accommodations need to be made, please contact your Delegation Director.
  • Financial Assistance – This should be done prior to completing the online registration steps below. 
  • Delegation Name – The YMCA or school that your student is a participant with.
  • Student's Email – This should not be a school email, as many schools block or slow down emails to students from outside sources. The State Office only communicates with students about YIG-related matters. Student email addresses are never shared outside the YMCA.

A note on Financial Assistance

Center for Youth Voice programs are for everyone who wants the experience, the learning, and the fun of participating. If you are committed to Model United Nations, we are committed to get you there!

Delegates who wish to apply for Financial Assistance must submit the Financial Assistance Application and all requested materials prior to registering below in order to be eligible for an award. Even if they have received Financial Assistance in the past, all delegates and their families should reapply, even if they have received Financial Assistance in the past, as the award amount may differ due to change in circumstance.
