One Common Unity

We're proud to announce our new Director of OST and Enrichment, Johneé Wilson!!

Johneé started working with OCU in 2019 as a Program Facilitator on the Fly By Light team. Since that time she has had multiple roles with OCU including organizing the Fly By Light National Training, working as a Senior Facilitator with the Peace Together team, and most recently supporting as our Director of Training.

Johneé is now helping the OST and Enrichment team close out for the school year and prepare for an action-packed Summer Strong program at Perry Street!!

Last week for National Gun Violence Prevention Day, our Peace Together program provided a 4 Spaces Intervention at Anacostia High School in collaboration with the ONSE Leadership Academy program.

The 4 Spaces is an engaging intervention that allows youth to learn and practice different types of coping strategies.

One form of coping is through building community, which is a big part of One Common Unity.

Students engaged in responding to a prompt related to how gun violence impacts their community and then learned how to make origami hearts to add to an installation piece to be held in their community.
