My Nonprofit Reviews

OUDC continues to have a profound impact on me, even though I participated in the program ten years ago. Academically, I was inspired to study the Civil Rights Movement in college because of exposure through OUDC to the places and people involved in the Movement. Personally, OUDC introduced me to the people who remain my closest friends. But the most important lesson I learned from OUDC is that everyone has a story to tell. As a teenager, I was so excited to learn of the varying lives of my fellow participants. Now as a teacher, I share the same appetite for learning of the lives of my students. OUDC taught me how to ask questions and how to find connections -- even with people with whom I never would have expected to share commonalities.
