Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am an alum of Operation Understanding DC and a big fan! OUDC is one of the few organizations I have seen in the DC area -- perhaps the country -- that is able to bring together such a diverse, committed group of young leaders and prepare them to go out and change the world. OUDC gave me the confidence to facilitate cross cultural dialogues in college, and has guided my career decisions since. I hold OUDC up as the model -- in philosophy, approach, and impact -- for a youth leadership program I now have the privilege to lead here in DC.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

all of the work I have done to promote cross-cultural understanding and youth leadership since then! OUDC successfully blends personal reflection, historical and cultural analysis, and a vision for a future better than our present.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

ensure that every student in the DC area, and beyond, is touched by OUDC and its values: program participants, parents, students participating in a workshop led by OUDC members, congregations inspired by OUDC students and alums, and more!

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every six months

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
