Teton County Model United Nations (TCMUN) conferences typically take place over Veterans Day weekend in mid-November. The 2022 Teton County Model UN conference is scheduled for November 13-15, 2022. Registration is now open. We plan to hold this conference in person, but we will closely follow applicable health guidelines to determine whether we will need to convert to an online format again this year.
Students and community members are welcome to attend our free public keynote speaker in conjunction with the conference. The speaker, date, and time will be announced soon. You can view our previous presentation by Dr. Nadia Oweidat, titled “A Million Clicks to Freedom: The Virtual Battle of Ideas in the Middle East,” here on our YouTube channel.
Thank you to all of our supporters who help make Teton County Model UN possible. We greatly appreciate your contribution to educating the next generation of global leaders!
What is Teton County Model UN?
“My Teton County Model UN experience can be summed up in one sentence: newfound leadership and confidence!”
-Mercedes Dimsey, Teton County Model UN 2013 participant, Cody High School ‘16
During this simulation of the United Nations system, students play the role of diplomats from countries worldwide with the aim of passing resolutions on pressing global issues. For example, students on the Security Council may debate issues like peacekeeping efforts in Sudan or Iran’s nuclear program.

Background to Teton County Model United Nations
Over the past decade, InterConnections 21 has supported student participation in various national and international Model United Nations (MUN) conferences including trips to New York City, Mexico City, Santa Barbara, Vancouver, Denver, Toronto, and Bilbao, Spain.
To enable more students from the Northern Rocky Mountains to benefit from MUN experiences, IC21 has been working with Wyoming high schools since 2006 to organize the Teton Country Model UN (TCMUN) conference in Jackson Hole, WY.
Seventy-two students from Jackson and the surrounding area participated in the inaugural TCMUN conference at the Journeys School in Jackson, WY. Since then, 2,300 participants from schools around Wyoming and Idaho have participated in TCMUN. IC21 continues to reach out to students from around WY and the Northern Rockies.
