Children today need our support more than ever. Older adults have abundant skills and life experience to share and a desire to help. A new national campaign launched November 17 called Generation to Generation aims to mobilize one million adults age 50+ over the next five years to support young people.
Oasis is proud to be a founding partner in this campaign. Since 1989 thousands of volunteers have helped kids in grades K-3 read at grade level and get a better start in school through the Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring program.
Oasis Tutoring is the largest school-based program in the country that engages older adults who have the time and desire to help. More than 5,000 tutors work one-on-one with children each week throughout the school year, giving them undivided attention, tuning in to discover each child’s interests and providing personalized activities to build motivation to learn.
