Oasis activities and mentoring opportunities help girls face their many struggles, including:
• Constant sexual harassment in the community;
• Many immigrant families do not allow their daughters to attend coeducational programs. Because Oasis is a girls-only program, it offers a unique resource;
• As a “gang-neutral” site, Oasis represents an important alternative to gang life, building girls' cross-ethnic alliances and appreciation.

1) We use arts activities to channel girls' positive and negative energies.
2) We conduct icebreakers and team-building exercises, resulting in improved interpersonal skills and communication.
3) Our workshops help girls develop positive self-image |

I love Oasis because we talk about our problems [and] staff help me when I have trouble. It helps to feel safe in the group. During the summer, I go to Oasis and do fun things like art and baking.
