Girl 2 Girl Final Performance
Congratulations Girl 2 Girl at Francisco Middle School for a Job Well Done!
READ ALL ABOUT IT!!
The Girl 2 Girl Life Skills Education program put on an excellent show at the Little Theater of Francisco Middle School on Friday, January 16th. The girls truly showed their talent and expressed their opinions about teen pregnancy--a topic that they have seen or been touched by at their young age.
The night started off with tasty snacks and good company. Girl 2 Girl/Oasis staff Julia and Jah' Torri kicked things off. From the opening of the curtain to the catchy "clinic" song, the girls on stage showed how some girls have both things that work against them (in their show it was a clinic staff that wasn't supportive and friends) and those that work with them for success (again, friends and family and open communication). The show ended with each participant receiving flowers from both Oasis and Francisco Connect staff. Julia and Jah' Torri shared affirmations with each girls describing how each one is unique, special, and appreciated.
Way to Go Girl 2 Girl!
Girl 2 Girl will work with San Francisco's Bessie Carmichael School from March 2009 through June 2009. Stay tuned for more up news on up and coming talented leaders!

Spring Break 2008
We are excited to bring Julia Ris on the staff to Oasis for Girls. Julia is an artist who has a background in community organizing around racial justice and LBGT issues, political education and youth development. She believes in the brilliance and creativity of all youth!
She will be joining a new group of girls in a multi-genre arts based, life skills program at Francisco Middle School in San Francisco. Oasis will also be at a 2nd middle school in the Spring semester. We are glad to expand the program to two school sites to serve more girls in the arts and life skills! Girl 2 Girl participants also come on site to our center for a Spring Break Week of Arts.
A group of Girl 2 Girl participants also had their artworks published in "Utopia/Eutopia" published by the Center for Creative Pedagogy in collaboration with Oasis. This was a special project in coordination with Anna novakov, Ph.D. and students from St. Mary's College of California.
