Oasis Project Incorporated

THE OASIS PROJECT PROVIDES FREE, PROFESSIONAL TUTORING FOR CHILDREN IN NEED WITHIN 3 SCHOOL DISTRICT PARTNERSHIPS. IN THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR, 35 EXPERIENCED EDUCATORS VOLUNTEERED TO PROVIDE 1,440 HOURS TO SERVE 90 STUDENTS. ANCILLARY VOLUNTEERS GAVE ADDITIONAL 1,260 HOURS TO PROVIDE COORDINATION OF THE VOLUNTEERS, TO RAISE FUNDS TO SUSTAIN THE PROGRAM, TO BRING AWARENESS TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE NEED BEING FULFILLED, AND TO PROVIDE OTHER ADMINISTRATION SERVICES NEEDED TO RUN THE ORGANIZATION WELL. THE OASIS PROJECT IS COMMITTED TO MEASURING ITS IMPACT IN 3 WAYS: 1) MEASURING THE ACADEMIC GROWTH OF STUDENTS AS DISTRICTS SHARE THEIR DATA, 2) SURVEYING STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF, AND ADMINISTRATION TO ENSURE NOT ONLY ACADEMIC FOCUS, BUT ALSO RELATIONSHIP BUILDING, WHICH HAS PROVEN TO BE VITAL FOR THE STUDENT'S SUCCESS, AND 3) OBTAINING FEEDBACK FROM TUTORS, STAFF, AND ADMINISTRATION TO ENSURE PROGRAM CONTINUITY, COHESIVENESS, AND COLLABORATION WHICH IS VITAL FOR THE PROGRAM'S SUCCESS. IN THE 2023-24 SCHOOL YEAR, OASIS PARTNERED WITH 11 SCHOOLS IN 3 DISTRICTS, SERVING KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 8TH GRADERS IN KETTLE MORAINE AND NORTH LAKE AS WELL AS KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 4TH GRADERS IN OCONOMOWOC SCHOOLS. ADMINISTRATORS RECOMMENDED STUDENTS TO BENEFIT FROM TUTORS' SPECIFICALLY MATCHED EXPERIENCE. TEACHERS WELCOME STUDENTS' OPPORTUNITIES TO RECEIVE INTENSIVE, INDIVIDUAL LEARNING TIME WITH ANOTHER CARING PROFESSIONAL. PARENTS RECOGNIZE BOTH ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL BENEFITS. STUDENTS UNANIMOUSLY REPORT INCREASED CONFIDENCE IN THE CLASSROOM. DURING THE 2023-24 SCHOOL YEAR, OASIS WAS AT FULL CAPACITY TO MEET THE REQUESTED AMOUNT OF TUTORING SERVICES, WITH GROWTH EXPECTED TO CONTINUE. MEETING THE INCREASED NEED WITHIN CURRENT PARTNERSHIPS DRIVES THE PROGRAM'S IMMEDIATE GOALS, WITH GOALS TO CONTINUE EXPANDING OUR SERVICE TO ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS AS RAPIDLY AS WE ARE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THE WORK.
