Model United Nations activities around the world are coordinated by a wide variety of groups and individuals.
Although universities and colleges organize the majority of MUNs, high schools also organize them. Professors or teachers and students work together in these situations. Some conferences are also run by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) focused on international education. Some are sponsored or supported by civic organizations. United Nations Associations (UNAs) have been the groups that have done the most work in sponsoring, supporting and promoting Model UN around the world.
MUN International has also been involved in assisting new conferences to get started in Dominican Republic, Hong Kong and Bolivia and providing training for others in Senegal and Ecuador.
Many MUN Conferences are incorporated as NGOs themselves and help sponsor other simulations. The aforementioned THIMUN is a good example as it has a network of “affiliated” MUN conferences originally throughout Europe, but now throughout the world.

Prominent amongst these are The Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN) (for secondary school students from many countries, taking place in The Hague each January),Recently THIMUN set up a new affiliate in Singapore; THIMUN-Singapore is meant to cater to participants who wish to have the experience of THIMUN but do not have the resources to do so or are simply not given a space at THIMUN. The National High School Model United Nations (NHSMUN), for secondary/high school students from across the world, held each March at the UN in New York City the American Harvard National Model United Nations (Boston each February), the North American Model United Nations (various United States cities each April), the American Model United Nations (AMUN) (held annually before Thanksgiving in Chicago, Illinois), and the McGill Model United Nations (McMun) (held in Montreal, Canada in late January for university students nationally and internationally). Individual schools and colleges also organize similar events for their own students. Examples include BEIMUN held in Beijing by the International School of Beijing. Many international schools around the world have their own Model United Nations Clubs and these schools can hold Model United Nations conferences of their own.
