OASES’ mission is to empower youth who have limited resources, particularly those in the Asian and Pacific Islander communities of Oakland, to maximize their potential through educational services and social support.

Description:
In 1983, OASES was founded by a handful of volunteer students from U.C. Berkeley who noticed the need for a safety net for new immigrants like themselves.

OASES is dedicated to developing the critical thinking & leadership skills of youth, as well as volunteers, and staff. OASES carefully trains tutors in youth development principles. Mentors are matched with the same student for at least one semester, and many volunteers are matched with the same students year to year!
