Earlier this year, a group of TEEN DAY Model United Nations (MUN) team members worked together on a leadership curriculum called Lead4Change. The program required them to do marketing, fundraising, outreach, and culminated with their applying for a grant.
We are pleased to announce TEEN DAY MUN was awarded $10,000! These funds will be used to reduce financial barriers many students face when trying to participate in MUN (including costs related to registration, lodging, and travel) by creating a scholarship fund and purchasing necessary materials, such as laptops, that could be used by team members. Funds were also identified for use in community outreach and training.
Please join the team for a award presentation followed by a small reception on Monday, July 28 at 2pm at 120 Third St., Ithaca, NY 14850. Team members past, present, and future, TEEN DAY participating families and instructors, members of the Ithaca community, and local news media have all been invited to attend.

Though this grant goes a long way toward meeting the team’s long-term fundraising goals, donations are still needed to facilitate all the team has in store. Consider making a tax-deductible donation to support informed citizenship and confident communication for teens!
