Overview

Mission

Pittsburgh oasis was an educational organization that strengthened communities by providing lifelong learning and service opportunities that inspired diverse audiences of mature adults to pursue vibrant, healthy, productive and meaningful lives. Programs in the arts, humanities, health, technology and volunteer service provided stimulating opportunities for mature adults to continue their personal growth and serve their communities. Pittsburgh oasis was a supporting organization of the oasis institute which directs a national network of oasis programs in 48 communities.

What it reported doing in 2013

Volunteer pittsburgh oasis offered a variety of ways for older adults to enrich their lives through volunteer service. Pittsburgh oasis worked with the pittsburgh public schools and the woodland hills school districts to offer the oasis intergenerational tutoring program, which trained volunteer tutors and matched them with at risk primary grade children to build reading and language skills. The program also helped build the students' confidence and positive attitudes towards learning. Catch healthy habits, another oasis intergenerational program, trained volunteers to work with children in after school and summer programs to promote healthy eating and increased physical activity. Opportunities were also provided to volunteers to assist in supporting the intergenerational programs, serving as instructors and supporting center operations.
