Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I participated in OUDC as a high school junior many years ago. The experiences I had that year affected many of my life choices since then. The program served as an inspiring call to action for me, by showing me that committed, passionate people can change the world when they work together towards a common, just goal. I often think back to the lessons learned in OUDC when engaging in dialogue about race and other difficult issues in our society. The experience was nothing short of spectacular, and I am gratified to see so many more students have the same opportunity to learn and become advocates for social justice.

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

incredibly thoughtful, experienced, and fun.

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

transform Washington, DC and the nature of race debate and race relations in America.
