"Many thanks to HawaH and One Common Unity for supporting our first annual Raw Life Retreat! I hope this heart-felt contribution supports the amazing work you are doing."

“Before this project I really didn’t think much of what I said to people because I’m the typed of person if I have something to say I’m going to say it. In other words, I don’t hold anything back. But now I realize that there’s a certain way to say what you feel and not be rude about it. I think of words like this, “Each word has an emotion attached that’s why we should always watch what we say.”
--Calvin Smith (A NU View youth participant, 2007)

“One Common Unity has been a great inspiration to the diversity of students at Wilson Senior High School in Washington, DC. Their teachings and commitment have created and molded our Peace Program and provided an opportunity for our students to realize their responsibility to one another and the planet. Keep up the great work OCU!”
--Dr. Stephen Tarason, Former Principal, Woodrow Wilson Senior High School

Fly By Light: Discover Your True Nature

This summer One Common Unity (OCU) is launching its new youth program, Fly By Light, which climaxes from July 25-August 1, when the inner-city high school students travel to the mountains of West Virginia for a life transforming experience. In order to create a collaborative learning environment for every participant, we are bringing together youth who are actively engaged in school and other positive extracurricular activities with those who may face barriers that may affect their ability to successfully transition to adulthood. All the youth who participate will experience a safe space for dialogue, self-discovery and self-expression, carefully crafted by OCU’s highly skilled facilitators.
