2017 Annual Report: With Oasis, growing older is all about growing! 
Thousands of curious and enthusiastic older adults across the country are turning to Oasis as a source of inspiration to improve the quality of their lives as they grow older.

Their stories of renewed learning, purpose and connection are at the heart of Oasis:
  • Elizabeth Stem and Becca Soutar met nine years ago taking lifelong learning classes at Washington Metropolitan Oasis. Collectively, they've taken over 1,700 classes in history, geography, music and more!
     
  • Virginia Hope turned to the Connections program for help getting up to speed with her iPhone. Now she's texting, sending photos and even using a ride-hailing app with confidence.
     
  • Ed Griffith teaches Soul Line Dance at San Diego Oasis, leading packed classes of dancers eager to move to the music for better health and a special cameraderie that keeps them coming back.
     
  • Jerry Swinehart has connected with 30 students as a tutor with Indianapolis Oasis, and says doing so keeps his outlook young!
