Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring is a volunteer program that pairs older adults with children in Kindergarten through 3rd grade to work one-on-one each week as their tutors, mentors and friends.

After tutors attend training sessions, they choose from a participating school district in the Greater St. Louis area, and work with the same child each week throughout the school year. Oasis tutors use a six-step approach to literacy designed by educators that emphasizes improved reading, speaking and writing.

The relationships forged between tutors and students make a profound difference not only for the children, but also for the tutors, many of whom report finding a renewed sense of purpose. Oasis tutors foster a caring, supportive environment where reading and language activities, keyed specifically to each child’s interests, spark curiosity and create opportunities to set attainable educational goals.
