- Every club has a voice — no matter how large or small
- We are committed to helping clubs of all levels, whether you’re recruiting your first teammates or refining the tenth iteration of your conference
what is the BAMUNL?
The BAMUNL is a student-run, student-led coalition of high school conferences and clubs that strives to empower students by making high-quality MUN accessible.
- Established clubs will be able to take on leadership roles in the Bay Area MUN system, facilitating the growth of lesser established clubs, conducting outreach, and designing league resources.
- Clubs that host conferences will be able to coordinate with other conferences to prevent overlapping dates and directly access a community of willing delegates. A league could also play a role in assisting with conference promotion and media.
- A league would allow for a standardized, updated database of conferences and clubs, assisting both with conference discovery and delegate recruitment.
- Mid-sized clubs will be able to receive direct support in starting their own conferences.
- Clubs in the foundational stages will—if willing—benefit from educational resources, live workshops, organizational templates, and direct mentorship from established clubs.
What does membership mean?
- League-led endorsement of high school conferences and an outsourcing of league personnel to help with conference promotion on league website, organization, and chairing, if requested;
- Facilitation of conference date coordination so as to minimize overlap and maximize attendance for each conference;
- Standardization of financial aid processes across high school conferences to enable underfunded clubs to attend;
- Club and conference development mentorship, in which more established clubs guide newer ones in starting a team, growing successfully, and perhaps hosting their own conference;
- Integration of educational resources by different clubs to present a united, comprehensive MUN curriculum for delegates and new conference organizers;
- League-run free educational programs or webinars for delegates to attend live;
- And other activities mutually beneficial to league members.
