The Jewish Canadian Youth Model United Nations (JCYMUN) is a Model UN conference hosted in Montreal for Jewish high school students in grades 9 - 12 from high schools locally, across Canada and around the world. Organized and run by a dedicated group of volunteer students from Montreal CEGEPs and universities, this year’s program marks the 25th time the annual conference is being held. Volunteers work year-round to ensure the success of this event which is scheduled from March 2nd to 4th, 2025.
Our founding mission was to not only curate a unique Model UN experience for Jewish high school students, but to also provide an affordable experience that enriches and cultivates these young students’ perspectives and appreciation for the international field of diplomacy.
The JCYMUN Conference is the only Model UN program suitable for Jewish students across Canada, and it is the most affordable for Jewish students across North America. Additionally, Jewish students from around the world get to meet the Montreal Jewish students, as well as the Montreal Jewish community, resulting in the return of many JCYMUN alumni for higher schooling in Quebec.
Rather crucially, JCYMUN allows the Canadian Jewish community the opportunity to invest in its driven and curious youth, showing them excellent role models and positive leaders when learning about diplomacy in a safe and welcoming environment.
With the growing rise of antisemitism, it is important for young Jewish students to feel proud in their identity and give them the tools necessary for them to become the next leaders of the Jewish world.
However, after 25 years of incredible conferences and the building of an amazing community, the economy has taken a turn for the worse, and costs have continued to rise.
That is why the JCYMUN Secretariat team is calling upon former delegates, alumni, parents, schools and community members to help us make this conference, the 25th anniversary, the best one yet!
By donating and by raising money, we will not need to raise costs for students and JCYMUN will stay true to the mission of providing an affordable experience, allowing the conference to be successful with all the necessary accommodations, and allowing students to experience a real Model United Nations conference without the worrying about Kosher food or interference with Shabbat.
