The trusted resource

committed to elevating youth in their community

The Oasis for Youth was established by community members as an all-volunteer response to address the barriers and lack of services for the rising number of suburban youth experiencing or at risk of homelessness.  Established with the support of Oak Grove Presbyterian Church, Oasis for Youth opened its doors in July of 2010 as an innovative, entrepreneurial and grassroots intervention. Working closely with schools in Bloomington, Richfield and Edina, Oasis for Youth mobilized the volunteer and financial support of local community members, churches, and civic organizations to connect homeless and at-risk youth to services and supports.
