What’s new at The Oasis Center for Women and Girls!
Strong Communities Raise Strong Girls
The Strong Girls Campaign is a week-long fundraising campaign to raise money for scholarships that benefit girls attending our “Girls Can Do Anything Summer Camp”. The funds raised directly impact the girls of Tallahassee by providing scholarships for them to attend the “Girls Can Do Anything” Summer Camp. We believe there are enough people who believe in girls that we can meet our goal of $16,500. This is the cost of 73 scholarships for girls to attend The Oasis Center’s Girls Can Do Anything Summer Camp. The “Girls Can Do Anything” Summer Camp is intentionally designed to expose girls to new possibilities, help them recognize they can be anything they want to be, and give them a chance to have fun and work collaboratively with groups of diverse girls.
Did you know a donation of $225 will allow one girl to attend a week of camp? Please check out the Facebook fundraising page, this PayPal link, or venmo @Oasis317, to help make a difference.

Oasis is a place where women and girls are valued, supported, and celebrated. We see barriers to women’s well-being and we work to diminish them.
- Our individual counseling, specializing in women’s issues, offers mental health support on a sliding fee scale.
- Girls Can Do Anything! summer camp engages girls in big visions of who they are and want to be while meeting women doing awesome things throughout the community. Discounts are available for families in need.
- We take our girls’ empowerment programming out into the community, where girls are, providing small-group support in the K-12 setting.
- Our single moms’ support group meets once a week in 8-week cohorts. There is a small fee to establish commitment. Dinner and childcare are included for the 90-minute sessions.
- We award women’s local contributions, honoring Trailblazers annually and telling these important stories in elementary schools.
- Barriers to women’s equity, safety, health, agency, and economic mobility, are also resolved by representation. So we train women to run for office through a nonpartisan, issue-neutral curriculum and event series called Women Can Run.
“I saw my daughter become a strong, confident young woman. Keep up the good work!”
“This is the best camp she’s ever been to. It’s the first time my 13 year old has wanted to get out of bed every morning.”
