Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Sometimes I forget how OUDC changed my life. I try to explain to my friends and family about the experiences I have had, but really am unable to properly describe how the program impacted me and my peers. Not only do I know more information about race relations and religion because of OUDC, but it also set me on a path of social justice. I always knew that I wanted to "change the world," but OUDC gave me the skills, confidence, and experience to believe I can and never stop fighting the good fight. I credit OUDC for making me the person I am today and giving me the knowledge and strength to be a leader within my own communities as well as to use my unearned privilege to try and fix our society. OUDC has created some of the best leaders I have ever known, and I cannot wait to see what we will continue to accomplish because of this amazing organization.

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

some of the most inspiring people I have ever known. Not only are they brilliant, but they made me challenge myself and my peers to truly understand the issues we were discussing.
