High school students from across the Capital Region share their perspectives on global issues, diplomacy, and leadership at the Capital Region Model United Nations Conference, co-presented by the International Center of the Capital Region (ICCR) on December 6.

Through Model UN, students develop critical thinking, cross-cultural understanding, and the confidence to engage with the world beyond their classrooms. ICCR is proud to support youth leadership opportunities that prepare the next generation to participate thoughtfully in global and civic life.
