Oasis Youth Center Virtual Saturdays

Oasis programming spans the advocacy, prevention, and leadership development continuum. As a result of COVID-19 and social distancing practices, we have adapted our weekly programs to a virtual platform. Youth can still engage in creative, life-changing activities and programs designed and led by staff, volunteers, and youth leaders.

1st Saturday - Have you been looking for a way to relieve stress in your life? If so, try out Rainbow Yoga at Oasis! Oasis partners with local providers to provide free and accessible classes led by qualified, trauma-informed instructors that will be sure to leave you more relaxed than you arrived. Rainbow Yoga is a great option for meeting new people and deepening your individual practice in a non-judgmental setting. All levels of experience welcome.

2nd Saturday - It is often said that one of the greatest strengths amongst queer youth is their creativity. Art Night is an excellent opportunity to dive deeper into developing your art skills, learn about queer artists, and most importantly, practice self-expression. Art Night offers a great opportunity to learn about different art styles, highlight artists, display activism through art and, most importantly,express yourself.

3rd Saturday - Youth can come together to play games, answer trivia questions, and win prizes.

4th Saturday - Waiting for the right opportunity to share your talent? Here’s your chance! Open Mic offers queer youth the space to perform in front of their peers in a welcoming and supportive environment. Participate in one of many fun Open Mic themes including poetry slams, traditional open mic, queer jeopardy, lip-sync battle, drag shows, and more! During Open Mic nights, participation is optional but fun is mandatory. Come see what all the fuss is about at our next Open Mic!

If you are a current youth, or need an intake, and would like to join us in our programs, please contact us. Oasis transforms the lives of queer and questioning youth by creating a safe place to learn, connect, and thrive. Oasis envisions a world in which queer youth are valued in the community as strong, creative leaders. We are a youth-adult partnership where young people and adults come together for shared teaching, learning, and action.
