O4G Gives a HUGE Thank You to Women Collectives Who Have Helped Us Further Our Mission

Spark builds a community of young, global citizens who are invested in changing patterns of inequality that impact women throughout the world. Spark generously awarded $5,000 for O4G's Future Fund Scholarships to college bound girls. With their support, O4G recently awarded four Oasis participants $1250. Congratulations Su Ping, Ashley, Julia and Carolyn!

Pow.wow Network: We give major props to Dava Guthmiller and the Pow.wow network, a collective of women entrepreneurs. In 2006, O4G attended one of their signature events supporting up and coming small women business owners. Since then, the group has helped us recruit women of color for Rise Career Networking night, held their annual holiday benefit in our honor at Notori Studio in SOMA. Dava is also volunteering on our fundraising committee this year!


eWomenNetwork: The San Francisco Chapter of eWomenNetwork awarded $6,000 in support of our Life Skills Education program. One year ago, O4G met arts aficionado and member Laurel Winzler of Laurel Designs who became our ambassador. O4G was invited to an Ewomennetwork event, learned marketing tools from Edith Yeung, had a vendor table and had our youth staff Maddy represent. O4G will go to Dallas, TX in July to receive the award in front an audience of 3,000 members.

Thanks to all of you for volunteering your time and your amazing efforts to help us realize our vision of cultivating generations of strong and creative young women leaders who realize their potential, live healthy lives and make a positive impact on their communities.

Our Vision: Oasis for Girls cultivates generations of strong and creative women who realize their potential, live healthy lives and make a positive impact in their communities.

Our Mission: Oasis for Girls provides a safe space where girls and young women are inspired and empowered to become strong and creative leaders in their communities.

Oasis for Girls provides culturally relevant and gender specific Arts and Arts Education, Leadership Development, and Life Skills Education programs that support the growth of low-income and immigrant girls and young women of color in urban communities. Through these programs, girls and young women have access to a community of adults who support them in creating change and integrating their skills to address issues they face in their lives and in their communities.

Open for Girls and Young Women Ages 11-24
School Year: Mon-Fri 3-6:30 pm

Who We Serve: The young women and girls who we serve reflect the rich diversity of the SoMa district and other neighborhoods throughout San Francisco. They range in age from 11 years to 24 years. They are Latina, African American, Asian, Arab, Pacific Islander, White, and multiracical. The majority are first generation Americans, however, many of them are also recent immigrants. Most speak languages other than English in their homes. They are all unique and often times face hardships of acculturation while striving to maintain pride within their own heritages.
