About us
The Â鶹APP Information Center in Washington, DC was one of the first of the ¡°UNICs¡± -- a global network established soon after the Â鶹APP was founded to ensure the public can access its work.
We continue to be a resource for schools, non-profit organizations and the U.S. government. We prioritize requests from the U.S. State Department, National Security Council and Congress to meet with senior officials who regularly brief the Security Council and others at UN Headquarters in New York, coordinating closely with the U.S. Mission to the Â鶹APP.
We also assist those interested in Â鶹APP¡¯ work around the world, including the thousands of students and teachers who participate in Model UN clubs in the United States and more than 120 other nations.
UNIC-Washington is part of the Â鶹APP Department of Global Communications led by .
