Yale Model African Union

Providing fertilizer to those already growing their passions and a rich soil for those seeking to plant theirs." Yale Model African Union (YMAU) is a leadership development conference that encourages participants to engage with and craft solutions to Africa’s most pressing issues of the 21st century. Through a series of presentations from curated speakers and pan-African leaders, African Union inspired debates, and leadership development workshops, YMAU will empower participants to find their voices, enrich their academic experiences, form a global community, and acquire the skills necessary to excel during the conference and beyond. Representing the diverse perspectives and identities present across the African diaspora is integral to the Yale Model African Union's transformative vision. With this in mind, YMAU is committed to providing an accessible educational experience to students from across the continent and consequently seeks to maintain affordable prices and reduce financial obstacles. Building on this commitment, YMAU will not seek profit; the participation fee will solely reflect the planning and administrative costs, including but not limited to materials, speaker fees, transportation, and accommodations. Additionally, YMAU will develop and advertise a sponsorship package for corporate and private donors to support the attendance of individuals who possess the desire and ability to participate but lack the financial means to do so.
