Prospective Delegates
The year-round League program season runs from mid-September to mid-April, one time per week, after school, for two hours. Each delegation (group of students) is divided by age, and at times, by ability. Tryouts occur from mid-August to early-September.
As a league delegate (student of diplomacy), delegates form part of a united delegation with delegates of similar age, but from different schools in the Greater Bay Area, both private and public. Over the span of one academic school year delegates have the option to attend several MUN conferences, field events, local inter-league debates, and special UN events. All events in addition to the weekly class times are completely optional.
An example of what one year looks like is the following:
Class every Wednesday from 5 to 7 p.m. A lecture at the Commonwealth club (field event). A tour through the Mercury News (another field event). Invitation to attend COP 15, as a youth leader (a UN event). Stanford, Harvard, Yale (Model UN conferences). One or two inter-league debates. A League Social. The Annual Delegate Gala. All League events other than the weekly classes are completely optional.
