Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was a member of OUDC Class 8. The program drastically effected my perception of social interactions and personal identity. My mindset was immediately changed for the better, but more importantly the lessons have stayed with me to this day. I vividly remember what it was like to speak with civil rights heroes, converse with religious leaders, speak publicly about my perception of cultural understanding and much more. The lessons I learned have shaped the last decade of my life, and I fully expect that they will stay will me forever.

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

the illumination of cultural details that I didn't even know existed. Growing up in Washington DC, I thought I had a good grasp of cultural differences and norms, but OUDC taught me a lifetime of knowledge in one year.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About once a year
