Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My daughter participated in OUDC. She learned a great deal about our history, in particular the Civil Rights Movement, and developed a better understanding of how folks from different backgrounds can and should learn to work together while respecting our differences. She also learned how to facilitate discussions over thorny and sometimes contentious issues - a skill that will serve her well in all sorts of ways in the years to come. I am sure that years from now, she will look back on her experience with OUDC as a vital part of how she learned to move forward in the world and make a positive difference.

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

not only how it taught my daughter about living together in a diverse society but it taught her leadership skills to make that happen.
