Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

OUDC was the most formative experience of my entire teenage life. It gave me the tools to really understand and critique history and the world around me. It encouraged and guided me to want to take action and effect change, and it gave me the toolkit to feel prepared and able to do so. And, more importantly, OUDC helped me learn to get along with and form real friendships with others from different backgrounds. My diverse group of friends and connections to other parts of the city and the country has helped me feel like a better person and a better citizen. OUDC gives teens the framework to make connections with one another in order to help change the world.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

The ways my friendships with other participants have helped my world view grow.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Amazing! The thoughtful staff help guide students on their journey and allowed me to make my own decisions about the world.
