See schedule oinspired by the 2012 rio+20 resolution, "the future we want", the organization is committed to promoting a united international community, a better future, and a more sustainable world through the achievement of the sustainable development goals (sdgs). The organization has identified 10 goals from the 17 sdgs as key focus areas related to youth and education to guide the work of the organization. Un high level officials have highlighted the important role civil society organizations and youth nongovernmental organizations play in advocating for the sdgs in their countries. The organization will work closely with other organizations committed to bringing about the future we want to help all of us address this challenge together. As such, the organization hopes to create a model un to be fully inclusive, allowing equal participation and opportunities for people from all countries creating a global initiative for young leaders of the future. By bringing together the social mission of the organization along with a committed secretariat led by senior officers and brilliant young enthusiasts, the organization, working actively with ngos and academic institutions across the globe, will promote and educate students in leadership, international relations, and consensus-building. The organization's programs bring together students from around the world to meet as youth, build long-standing friendships, and learn emotional and social skills along with gaining a new level of academic understanding of the issues discussed at the united nations. Students will develop their critical thinking skills, cross-cultural understanding, and self-confidence through this activity to go on and become agents of change in their communities.a model un is an incredible way to train future world leaders, and is an experience all students should have. Our core values are inclusivity and diversity. This flagship model un conference is the future we want model united nations which will be held yearly in New York city.

The organization is fully engaged to ensure that this conference features realistic and educational content taken directly from the un agenda. The conference should be a smooth experience for all groups to register and attend the event, along with expert staff from elite colleges and universities around the world to lead the delegates throughout the event.at the conference, delegates from 136 counties (some selected directly by their government to attend) will have the opportunity to engage in the most pressing un topics and hear from experts in their field on these topics. The organization will attract some of the most prominent personalities in the realm of the world politics and diplomacy. Participants will engage in high level committees at the un headquarters with the support of several governments and un agencies. Each committee will be opened by an expert briefing attended by un officials, diplomats and public figures of the academic world. The conference is just the starting point: students don't simulate the un, they engage in actual debates that are critical to the un agenda.
