Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Operation Understanding has been such an integral part of my personal development. As a student and then as Program Director, I saw the program change the ways in which people from different backgrounds communicate about important issues in our world. OUDC is all at once a leadership development program; a college-preparatory experiential learning course; and an example of the power young people have to end racism and discrimination in all their forms. The staff and Board of Directors of OUDC care deeply about the mission of the organization and make meaningful connections with students, parents, and families that are long-lasting.

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

my own life and the lives of others.

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

the chance it give young people to connect to American History.

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

dedicated to the mission of OUDC and eager to become part of the movement.

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

expand its award-winning program to reach more students.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About once a year

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009

Role:  Volunteer & Program Director for Classes 10-14 of Operation Understanding DC.
