Oasis - A Haven for Women and Children

We work with Oasis - A Haven for Women and Children in Paterson, NJ, to support their mission of changing the lives of families by breaking the cycle of poverty through programs designed to educate and empower children in need. Oasis provides afterschool and weekend enrichment programs for youth. We learned that their students don’t get to do hands-on STEM at school because of budget cuts.
