Learn more about Bridges MUN at Portola

Model United Nations is a simulation of United Nations committees with students taking on the roles of delegates, working together to solve the worlds most difficult problems. Delegates develop their critical thinking, analysis, speaking and listening, writing, and diplomacy skills as they step into the shoes of nations and learn to speak for those who may not speak for themselves.

In sixth-grade, HGM learners have opportunities to use MUN basics in reading, writing, speaking, and debate through their Social Studies and Science classes. Sixth-graders who are interested in Model UN and global issues, may apply to join the seventh and eighth grade team, Bridges MUN.
