OASIS stands for Opportunities and Supports in School. OASIS offers programming after school and over the summer.
This programming includes a variety of engaging activities aimed to provide a safe place for students to get help with their schoolwork, participate in engaging activities with their peers, and have an opportunity to try new experiences.
