Fellowships

🌍 Model UN Academy Fellowship

Empowering the next generation of global changemakers.

The Model UN Academy Fellowship is an immersive, 8-week leadership and advocacy experience for high school and early college students who are passionate about making a real difference in the world. Designed around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the fellowship helps students transform their interest in global issues into powerful, community-driven advocacy.

🔹 What You’ll Do

As a Fellow, you'll design, build, and launch your very own independent advocacy campaign—from concept to action—with expert support every step of the way.

You’ll choose an issue that matters to you, explore how it connects to the SDGs, and create a campaign that raises awareness, drives engagement, or directly impacts your community.

🔹 What You’ll Learn

Throughout the 8 weeks, Fellows gain practical skills in:

  • Strategic Communication – Craft compelling messages that move people.

  • Media & Content Creation – Use storytelling, social media, and design to amplify your cause.

  • Grassroots Organizing – Mobilize your peers and community members for real-world change.

  • Ethical Leadership – Lead with purpose, integrity, and empathy.

🔹 Personalized Support

Each Fellow receives:

  • One-on-one mentorship from experienced advocates and educators.

  • Custom toolkits and templates to guide campaign planning and execution.

  • Ongoing feedback to help refine your ideas and strategy.

🔹 Recognition & Impact

By the end of the program, you will have:

  • Launched a fully developed, real-world advocacy campaign.

  • Gained lifelong skills in leadership, organizing, and communication.

  • Contributed meaningful change to your community.

Outstanding campaigns will be recognized with awards and special features, and all participants will receive a certificate of completion to celebrate their growth and achievement. Please be aware that the Fellowship is unpaid.

✅ Who Should Apply?

The Fellowship is perfect for students who are:

  • Passionate about social justice, sustainability, or human rights.

  • Excited to learn, lead, and take action.

  • Ready to invest time and energy into a cause they care about.

Whether you're new to advocacy or already leading change, this program meets you where you are—and helps you go further.
