Actively recruiting for the 2017-18 school year!
Can you spare an hour each week to change the life of a child forever? The Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring Program matches volunteers with students in grades K-3 who need help developing reading and language skills. Volunteers work one-on-one with a child during the school day. OASIS tutors can be found in 23 participating St. Louis area school districts and at nearly 300 schools - so there is sure to be one in your neighborhood!

Mission Statement
OASIS is a national nonprofit educational organization designed to enhance the quality of life for mature adults. Offering challenging programs in the arts, humanities, wellness, technology and volunteer service, OASIS creates opportunities for older adults to continue their personal growth and provide meaningful service to the community.
Description
We strengthen communities by providing lifelong learning and service opportunities that inspire diverse audiences of mature adults to pursue vibrant, healthy, productive and meaningful lives. OASIS was founded in 1982 by Marylen Mann and Margie Wolcott May as a resource for mature adults who wanted to continue to be active, productive members of the community.
Today OASIS has grown into the largest, most comprehensive educational and volunteer service program for mature adults in the U.S. It serves more than 350,000 adults in 26 cities.
Three times per year, St. Louis OASIS publishes a course catalog detailing our local educational programs in the areas of art, humanities, technology, health, travel, science, contemporary issues and more. With more than 200 classes offered each trimester, there is a class of interest to everyone. Our 2,000+ volunteers serve the St. Louis community in a variety of ways. Providing adults age 50+ with opportunities to learn and give back are two primary goals of St. Louis OASIS.
