What’s new at The Oasis Center for Women and Girls!
Although Women’s History is Everyone’s History, women’s contributions and accomplishments have largely been overlooked and consequently omitted from mainstream culture. This is why March is Women’s History Month. It’s a time dedicated to recognizing and appreciating the significant contributions of women throughout history. The Oasis Center for Women & Girls has a proud tradition of celebrating women and girls who have positively impacted our lives. We invite you to join us at the annual community-wide Women’s History Month Luncheon, where we will honor and acknowledge those individuals who make a difference. Click here for tickets!
We invite you to nominate women and girls who you believe have made a lasting difference and have genuinely made the world a better place. We seek nominations in three categories: Trailblazer, Unsung Shero, and Girls Can Do Anything.
To check whether the woman or girl you are thinking of has already been recognized, please visit this page.
Deadline to Nominate: December 11, 2023
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.”
