Since 1991,  JUNA has increased awareness of worldwide issues, demonstrated how the United Nations works, and emphasized the importance of diplomacy and problem-solving among nations, peoples, and cultures. More than 1,000 students from over 75 schools have participated. The two-day event includes a meeting of the Security Council, an Opening Assembly, Committee Meetings, and General Assembly meetings in which resolutions are presented, discussed, and voted upon. JUNA ends with a reception where awards are given and students' accomplishments are celebrated.
