OASIS Dedicates Garden

 
San Antonio OASIS and Jefferson Outreach dedicated its new garden at the OASIS at Morningside location on Friday April 12th. The Blake Rapier Garden was started in the fall when the Kym's Kids Organization helped plant flowers that were donated by City Councilman, Cris Medina (District 7). The garden includes a gazebo where OASIS and Jefferson Outreach will place memory bricks.
 
Next time you are at an OASIS class please visit our beautiful garden. It is a great place to eat lunch.

 

Intergenerational Tutoring in San Antonio

Share your love of reading as you help a child develop
a positive self image and enthusiasm for learning.

The Intergenerational Tutoring Program, which started 15 years ago in San Antonio, pairs adults age 50 and older with children in grades K-4 to promote success in reading. Volunteers are needed to spend one hour a week with the same child throughout the school year.

  • No teaching experience is required
  • Free training is provided
  • Hours are flexible for vacations and appointments
  • Choose the school where you prefer to tutor

This is a great way to get involved in your community and help children get a better start in school. We are always interested in talking to new people interested in learning more about this opportunity. 

For more information please contact Marly Flores, program coordinator, at 210.236.5954.
