Operation Understanding DC (OUDC) is a year-long, experiential, leadership development program that introduces students to other students who are passionate about pursuing social justice.
OUDC is currently looking for motivated, high school juniors who are:
- Eager to create change and promote social justice;
- Proud of their heritage and identity;
- Leaders or have leadership potential; and
- Involved in their communities.
The mission of OUDC is to provide quality programming to students and to build a generation of African American and Jewish community leaders who promote respect, understanding and cooperation while working to eradicate racism, anti-Semitism and all forms of discrimination. OUDC participants will engage in honest dialogues about slavery, the Holocaust, the Civil Rights Movement, current national and international issues, religion, spirituality, and much more.
Beginning in July, OUDC students will travel from New York City to the Deep South to explore their histories and create their blueprints for future activism. Each day, the students will hear from inspirational speakers, receive educational tours, and learn from life-changing experiences.
The application, recommendation forms and Sample Program Schedule can be downloaded from the OUDC website: www.oudc.org. Please note: Applications are due Wednesday, November 10, 2010.
