The OASIS Intergenerational Tutoring Program is a proven approach to build children’s self-esteem and positive attitudes toward learning while strengthening literacy skills. Working with elementary schools, OASIS pairs older adults with young children with underdeveloped reading and language skills. The adults work one-on-one with the students each week as their tutors, mentors, and friends. Since 1989 volunteers have helped over 300,000 children learn to read and be more successful in school.
