About Us
Starting in 2012, the JPII team has sponsored JPIIMUN, our own annual one-day conference, which enables interested students to participate in an actual conference run by JPII students and to
experience firsthand Parliamentary Procedure, Resolution Writing, and crisis simulations.
Through Model UN, students become working diplomats, learning about and representing countries in simulations of the United Nations. This is an experience like no other, one that promotes the
development of such important life skills as research, leadership,
teamwork, public-speaking, negotiation, and conflict resolution.
