From the Director

Its an exciting time at  Oasis!

After 34 years of hosting our programs in a Macy’s store, we will move our largest site to Grossmont Center this spring.

Our new home comes with prominent visibility, ample parking, public transportation options and lots of terrific food and shopping.

Come eat, shop and learn with us at our new location!

Warm wishes,
Simona Valanciute
President & CEO
