Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA
This program takes youth from different backgrounds and cultural experiences and spends a year both teaching about each other's cultures and having the students learn from each other. During the "Summer Journey" students spend more than 3 weeks travelling to New York and throughout the south visiting places of historical and cultural importance. They also speak with individuals who experienced the civil rights movement first-hand. This program is a life-changer for all those who go through it. Each student leaves the program as an ambassador of more than simply cultural tolerance, but of understanding and appreciation of another's culture.
More Feedback
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
not only unbelievably dedicated to the cause of the program, but knowledgable about the subject matter and extremely skilled in working with these high school students.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
offer the program to more students and make even a bigger difference.
