Our Programs

Model UN: Model UN is a UNA-USA program which teaches hundreds of high school students how the United Nations works by giving them the opportunity to conduct a Model UN where they work out their own solutions to real international problems. For the past 36 years, UNAR supported this UNA-USA program by holding an annual spring Model UN conference in the Rochester area. Furthermore, UNAR is proud to support the fall Hilton Model UN conference.

UN Visiting Journalists Program: For approximately 20 years, UNAR has coordinated a weekend with the UN where foreign journalists visit the Rochester area. While in Rochester, each of the journalists is hosted by an area family to facilitate the diffusion of world cultures. The weekend is completed with a dinner where the visiting journalists share information about their home country and experiences there as a journalist.
