Their goal is to develop a network of young leaders working to promote values of social justice,understanding,fairness,curiosity about and concern for others.

They help the participants begin to challenge assumptions they have held, listen to and respect the perspectives of those who disagree with them and provide them with access to inspiring leaders and social activists or holocaust survivors I have seen the changes in the lives of several young people who have participated in OUDC. They all have a spark to make the world better and tools to go about effecting this.
