ABOUT US

The voice of young people.

SpeakUP Mongolia was established by founder Manlai Orgil, alongside co-founders Khulan Bayaraa and Erkhembileg Javkhlan. The organization was created with the mission of empowering young people and ensuring that students have a platform to voice their opinions on issues affecting their local communities, the nation as a whole, and the wider world.

On August 15–16, 2026, our organization successfully hosted SUMUN 2026 at the Independence Palace of Mongolia. The two-day conference brought together approximately 150 participants, including delegates, committee chairs, staff members, and organizers, providing a platform for meaningful debate, diplomacy, and youth engagement.
