Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

OUDC shaped my life in ways that I could have never imagined. I learned not only about Judaism as a culture and religion, but I learned a lot about myself as an African-American woman. I was given the opportunity to meet 29 of the brightest high school students. One of the things I appreciated most about this group was that I did not have to talk as much; I became perfectly content with just listening to what others had to say. This type of group is key to bridging gaps in our society. I would recommend this group to anyone who wants to see the world in a different light, anyone who wants to learn about people and anyone who is up for the challenge of self-discovery and building better relations with different types of people. Though some of us may not talk everyday, we are forever connected by our OUDC experience. Viva OUDC!

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

my college experience with different types of people.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

make one in every major city.

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

my classmates. I never met a bunch of teenagers that cared so deeply about the world and its people.

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

open-minded and full of knowledge

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

go overseas!

Ways to make it better...

It was longer

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

expanding yet keeping the group close knit

One thing I'd also say is that...

I cannot wait for my younger brother to become a part of this program!
