What we do
Three ways in.
One method, shaped to where you stand today: a first debate, a first board seat, or an entire institution.

Every ambitious person starts somewhere small.
The Council exists to raise them in standing, in reach and in belief, from wherever they start to the world stage.
This region has never lacked talent. What it has lacked is access. A delegate who can hold a committee floor in Beirut can hold one at Harvard, Yale or Oxford. We exist to close the distance between those rooms.
That belief shows up as four commitments:
Proven on the world’s stages
Awards at Harvard Model United Nations, Harvard Model Congress and conferences across the US and Europe.
A method with a pedigree
Certified by Harvard and John Maxwell. Structured, rigorous, measured.
A bridge to the world
Exchange programs at Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins and Georgetown, and now at Oxford, Cambridge and in Germany.
Leadership for every chapter
From a first debate to a CEO’s next decision.
Who we are
Local potential. Global standing.
Founded in Beirut twelve years ago, The Council now delivers in four countries and takes delegations to the leading universities of the United States and Europe. Our faculty hold Harvard and John Maxwell certifications, and include former US Department of State education advisers and counselors with two decades inside the American admissions system.
Where ambition finds its bearing.
Applications for 2027 are open. Harvard Model United Nations closes first.
