How do girls find your programs?

Our Programs team is very active in our community promoting our programs across San Francisco public schools. We are an independent organization, not affiliated directly with any school in particular, so we serve girls from schools across the city.

In addition to our outreach at schools (think like a school fair for after school clubs!), many of our girls come to us through word of mouth including school counselors, teachers, and friends who have completed our programs. There is a really special loyalty among our girls that encourages friends to get involved.

How many girls do you serve?

How long are your program cycles?

The girls get paid—how does this work?

Where is Oasis for Girls located?Where are the programs held?

We serve approximately 50 girls per cycle, or ~150 girls per year.

Our programs span 6-10 weeks (depending on the time of year). Girls attend one program at a time and can attend all 3 programs sequentially or spread out throughout their high school years.

Our girls are paid to attend our programs (think: getting paid to learn, build a sisterhood, and discover your passions—amazing!). The girls are paid $400 for their first program, $500 for their second program, and $600 for their third program.

We have our own space at 7th Street and Mission St., in the SOMA neighborhood in San Francisco. Our girls come to the space for all three programs. We have many field trips and workshops offsite, but our home base is in our office.
