What
is 2AYA?
The American-African Youth Association
is an organization that aims to foster the leadership potential of students
with innovative initiatives relating to global social, political, and economic
issues. Connect Model United Nations, an annual 3-day conference, is the
flagship event of 2AYA.
How
can 2AYA help me today and in the future?
Initiatives started by the 2AYA can have numerous benefits for students,
sponsor teachers and staff. For instance, if you are a delegate preparing for a
Model United Nations conference, we have put together a significant collection
of resources for first time delegates and veterans looking to get an edge and
take the next step on their MUN careers. We call this resource "Project
Connect" and you can find sample position
papers, draft resolutions, guides and strategies to get through a Model UN
(MUN) successfully. Sponsor teachers and can find a step-by-step guide to
creating a MUN club at their school and get in contact with one of our
ambassadors that will help them with the club at every step of the way. Soon, Project
Connect will also guides to chairing and
directing committee sessions.
In the long run, 2AYA hopes to plant the seeds of global citizenship in students. We passionately hope that getting involved in politically-charged activities such as Model UN will increase awareness amongst all of us. Furthermore, we hope to instill the core values of 2AYA into all that pass through our doors.
One thing we will be aiming to do with this web space which is different
from previous incarnations is to be more communicative with you by offering
some news pieces, our thoughts and ways to get involved with social justice
issues. In the long run, 2AYA hopes to plant the seeds of global citizenship in students. We passionately hope that getting involved in politically-charged activities such as Model UN will increase awareness amongst all of us. Furthermore, we hope to instill the core values of 2AYA into all that pass through our doors.
We want our website to feel alive and we want you to learn from it.
