Oasis Albuquerque Intergenerational Tutoring Program

Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring is a volunteer opportunity focused solely on literacy and designed to engage committed adults who share their time and talents by providing individual attention to K-4 students. Our tutoring/mentoring program pairs trained older adult volunteer reading mentors with students in grades K-4 who have been identified and referred by their teachers as individuals who would benefit from our literacy approach.. Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring focuses on elementary students who do not necessarily qualify for special services or institutional intervention (an Individual Education Plan – IEP). Volunteers serve as reading mentors, preparing session plans catered to student's interest, to build literacy skills and promote student self-esteem/confidence.

Oasis Albuquerque is a non-profit organization affiliated with the Oasis Institute in St. Louis, Missouri. The Oasis Institute is the national headquarters and is led by Dr. Paul Weiss. A strong leadership team and Board of Directors support Dr. Weiss in this work. Oasis is already making strides towards reaching our goals. 1.

Increased focus on sustainability by offering high-quality classes and increasing fees, and expanding the fee-for service model of the tutoring program - The Oasis Institute is providing a business analysis of earned revenue looking at class enrollment, profit margin, class topics, and net revenue. 3. Increased focus on evidence-based health programs, especially fall prevention and chronic disease self-management a.Through new funding partnerships, Oasis has increased its evidence-based health programs nationwide 4. Developing a national approach to the delivery of technology programs, to include shorter courses and more focus on fraud and scam prevention. - Oasis now offers continually updates our Oasis Connections Technology curriculum to stay current. 5. Increased support for the Oasis network, particularly with marketing and fundraising - The Institute is implementing more focused, higher touch support to our center in the form of fundraising and marketing support, board building, and strategic plan development.

Oasis Albuquerque has 17,500 active participants with over 2400 class offerings in 2020.

ACTIVE LIFESTYLES: Oasis has expanded its physical space in order to increase program offerings, specifically evidence-based health programs such as fall prevention and chronic disease self-management programs.

VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT: The Intergenerational Tutoring Program had an active team of 400 volunteers during the 2019/2020 school year. The program teamed with 65 elementary schools in 4 public school districts – Albuquerque, Belen, Bernalillo and Rio Rancho, New Mexico. The program has been locally recognized by the National Education Association - NM Chapter in 2017 with their "Friend of Education Award." In 2019. the Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education awarded Albuquerque Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring Program with their certificate for "Outstanding Public Service."

As the 60+ cohort will eventually represent more than 20% of the population, Oasis looks forward to expanding its work. Exciting plans for the future include: - Developing and piloting online classes to reach a broader audience and to generate new revenue. - Developing and implementing specific strategies that will demonstrate Oasis is a national thought leader in the field of healthy aging. – Increase the number of evidence-based health programs in our center - Increase the number of tutors by 10% by the end of 2020 - Increasing individual donations by 5% over the next two years.
