The award-winning OASIS Tutoring Program continues its expansion into rural areas, as well as full service to Eugene 4J and Springfield. Now serving Pleasant Hill, Junction City, and Harrisburg, the program needs even more tutors to positively impact self-esteem and make a positive impact in the lives of more than 200 first through third graders in 27 schools. Comprehensive training and ongoing support provided. No previous experience necessary. Tutor Ila Dickson says, "It's fun! I get to tell everybody I know I get to go to school. I say, 'Why don't you try it too?"
