We're so happy you're interested in participating in Oasis for Girls! Our programs help you to develop positive decision making, healthy self-expression, and educational and vocational skills to succeed in high school and beyond while cultivating sisterhood and leadership in social justice.

Program Cycles: We have three program cycles each year: Fall (10 weeks), Spring (10 weeks), and Summer (6 weeks). All programs (Create, Rise and Envision) are available during each cycle. Students may apply to one program per cycle.
NOTE: In Summer 2024, only CREATE and RISE will be accepting applications.

African American, Arab, Latinx, Native, Asian and Pacific Islander, and low-income youth are strongly encouraged to apply. Citizenship status is not a barrier to joining our programs. Participants in the ENVISION program will need proof of COVID vaccination due to the partnership with UCSF.
