Founded in 1986, HMC is a 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit and the nation's oldest government simulation conference run exclusively by undergraduates at Harvard College. HMC is also the most dynamic model congress simulation available to high school students.
Harvard Model Congress presents a unique opportunity for high school students to engage with American government through role playing and simulation in order to develop a better understanding of civic involvement and government function. Through a variety of congressional committees covering a broad spectrum of pressing federal issues and a diverse collection of Special Program committees highlighting other functions of the US government, HMC strives to provide a stimulating learning environment that fosters individual growth and group education.
