THE POWER OF YOUR INVESTMENT

$30 provides one day of instruction to 20 low-income youth with experiences they do not receive during school (i.e., girls empowerment, environmental education, diversity education, arts, financial literacy)!

$250 provides one low-income youth with individualized tutoring & enrichment workshops for one month.

$500 gives one low-income youth the opportunity to learn cutting-edge technology programs for one year!

$1,000 gives 20 low-income youth in grades 1-5 the opportunity to take 11 weeks of enrichment & leadership workshops!
WHY DONATE TO OASES

OASES increases cost-efficiency by training the largest number of volunteers in Oakland - 400 UC Berkeley students- to provide tutoring and mentoring to approximately 34,000 hours of tutoring to 400 low-income youth.

This cost-savings results in an in-kind contribution of $229,500 (based on California Minimum Wage) every year!
VOLUNTEER DONATES PAYCHECK TO OASES!

In 2006, OASES was pleasantly surprised when a former volunteer donated her entire second paycheck to OASES as soon as she landed her first job after she graduated from UC Berkeley!

We are so grateful for this volunteer's generous act of kindness and we hope her testimonial will inspire you to invest in OASES:

"I have been waiting for this moment to be able to contribute monetarily to OASES. Thank you for impacting my life. In a world of injustice and inhumanity, I was so fortunate to be surrounded by passionate people all four years of my college career– people who work so diligently and tirelessly to change the world one small step at a time."

We would be extremely grateful if you could join this generous volunteer & invest in OASES. Thank you for your support!
