One of the most special aspects of our programs is our staff and staffing pattern. Oasis is made up of a network of experienced educators and recreational specialists. Each site has a director, instructors and group leaders. Group leaders act as positive role models for students helping them stay engaged in activities, de-escalating conflicts that arise, and helping them complete assignments. Professional development is a critical component of all of our programs.

Group Leader credentials include at least one prior childcare experience, a High School diploma (at minimum) and excellent references. Instructor credentials include at least one year of teaching experience, some college, excellent references and a strong background in their content area. Program Director credentials include all requirements for an instructor plus a college degree and supervisory and/or program development experience.

We are a non-profit organization devoted to developing enriching after school programs. We always seek committed, enthusiastic and professional candidates who want to make a difference in the lives of children. Oasis offers a competitive salary, professional development opportunities, and a fun work environment.
