Youth Oasis was built with a mission to support runaway, abandoned, and homeless youth in the Baton Rouge area in an affirming, accepting environment that leads them toward resilient, successful citizenship.
Youth Oasis encourages community support of our programs and youth through several volunteer opportunities:
- Life Skills instructors

- Facility care
- Mentoring
Each of these categories of volunteering have a unique commitment of time and planning ranging from one-off to 2 year commitments.

Mission Statement
Our mission at Youth Oasis is to provide necessary resources and support services to at-risk youth ages 10-21 in order that they may transition to become successful citizens in our community.
Description
Youth Oasis consists of two programs designed to assist youth in crisis.
Our emergency shelter is a 24-hour emergency facility for runaway, homeless youth ages 10-17. We provide immediate shelter, food, clothing and counseling for youth with no where else to turn. We assist families in working through difficult issues in order that they remain intact.
Our transitional living program supports consumers, ages 16-21, with residential living, staff support, and direct connections to services in the Baton Rouge area. Our goal is to instill independent living skills in order that they become self-sufficient.
