The Oasis Institute Foundation (OIF) is more than just a charity – it's a bridge to opportunity. We empower underserved Floridians, from immigrants and veterans to individuals with disabilities, to build brighter futures.

 

Here's how we make a difference in five key areas:

 

We believe quality education shouldn't be a privilege. OIF focuses on ensuring no child is left behind. Our K-12 resources and afterschool programs in Miami offer support to children from families who can't afford private school tuition, providing a strong foundation for their success.

 

Building Belonging: Becoming a Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) is just the first step. Our ESL and Citizenship Services program equips immigrants with the language skills and knowledge they need to integrate seamlessly into American life. We offer civics instruction, naturalization guidance, and even legal aid – empowering immigrants, including veterans, to become proud and active citizens.

 

Honoring Our Heroes: Veterans and military spouses deserve all the support we can give. Our comprehensive program provides career resources from resume writing and interview prep to free workshops and job placement services. We even extend assistance with higher education applications and entrepreneurial resources, particularly for disabled veterans. Through partnerships and grants, we also offer guidance on starting a business and accessing additional financial support.

 

Ability to Achieve: Everyone deserves a chance to reach their full potential. Our Specialized Services program removes barriers for disabled job seekers. We match candidates with employers seeking talent and advocate for their rights, ensuring they benefit from federal hiring preferences and tax incentives. Whether veteran or civilian, our goal is to empower disabled individuals to find fulfilling careers.

 

Financial Empowerment: Financial literacy is a cornerstone of a secure future. Our American Dream Empowerment initiative provides practical courses and resources to help individuals build businesses, manage their finances wisely, and access vital community services. This empowerment fosters economic stability and paves the way for long-term success.

 

By focusing on these five key areas, Oasis Institute Foundation is weaving a stronger social fabric for all Floridians. We empower individuals to achieve their dreams, build brighter futures, and contribute to a vibrant and inclusive community.
