Follow on Google News | Triunfo YMCA Taking Sign-Ups for Model United Nations Program for Middle SchoolersThe Triunfo YMCA, serving Westlake Village, Agoura Hills and Oak Park, will hold its first meeting of its Model United Nations program, designed for kids in sixth through eighth grades on Thursday, January 27 at 6:30 p.m.
By: Triunfo YMCA Model United Nations is part of the national YMCA Youth & Government program. Participants learn about cultural diversity, improve their public speaking skills and become more aware of global concerns. The Triunfo YMCA's Model United Nations will meet twice a month in January and February and then once a week through May. Participants get the opportunity to meet other teens from across the state by attending two conferences: During the main conference, student ambassadors take on the roles of UN members, chairs, and presiding officers. They discuss, just like in the real UN, international issues that have a global impact. "Delegates use what they have learned during several months of preparation and research as they perform their roles," says Jenna Grossman, Triunfo YMCA program director. This experience gives kids a much better understanding of the world we live in." For more information, contact Jenna Grossman at 818-707-9622 or e-mail jgrossman@triunfoymca.org. # # # With branches in Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, Westlake Village and Simi Valley, the Southeast Ventura County YMCA serves the communities of Newbury Park, Moorpark, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Santa Rosa Valley, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills and Oak Park.
