Voorhees High School’s Model UN delegation had another strong performance at the 2024 YMCA Model United Nations Conference in Hershey, PA on January 5-7, 2024.
Senior Meredith Whitlock was nominated to attend the Conference on National Affairs as an alternate. This prestigious program brings together YMCA Civic Engagement delegates from across the country. Their week-long conference is held over the summer in North Carolina.
The Voorhees Delegation as a whole was awarded ‘Outstanding Delegation’ for the overall performance of its 16 attending delegates. This award reflects the effort, engagement and integrity of the Voorhees Model UN members.
Model UN is coordinated through the YMCA Civic Engagement, which provides students in middle and high school with the opportunity to represent and serve their communities through model government, leadership and professional development, advocacy, and service-learning. YMCA Civic Engagement operates three flagship programs: YMCA Model United Nations, New Jersey Youth & Government, and Middle School Model United Nations. Through its participation in the national YMCA Youth and Government initiative, student leaders also attend the annual YMCA Youth Conference on National Affairs, Youth Governors Conference, and National Advocacy Days.
