Counselor Application

Camp Model United Nations (MUN) is a seven-day summer camp for Ukrainian youth in 9^th form to 1^st year university students. Our camp’s main topics include: international cooperation, the structure and processes of the United Nations, and other pressing international issues. While we conduct the United Nations simulation, we’ll also offer opportunities to have fun and improve upon skills such as critical thinking or English. Additionally, there will be trainings on a variety of topics such as human trafficking. Our camp this August will be the second annual Peace Corps Ukraine MUN.

Campers will represent a pre-selected country, take positions on the topics based on that country's interests, and collaborate on creating resolutions. They will also participate in camp activities to build teamwork skills and make the camp an unforgettable experience.

Camp MUN needs motivated and experienced PCVs and FLEX alumni who want to share their energy, interest in international relations, and cooperation. Prior MUN experience is highly desired; however, not required. Prior to the camp, counselors will be assigned two countries to research and create country profiles. PCVs and FLEX alumni will work together as mentors to facilitate the UN simulation, conduct training, and organize camp activities.

The camp will be held for 7 days, from August 11-17, 2014 in Odessa Oblast. Counselors will be expected to arrive one day early.The exact dates and location may be subject to slight changes. If you are interested in being a counselor at Camp MUN, please complete the application below by February 15^th and send it to: campmodelUN.ua@gmail.com.
