Joining OASES

Thanks for your interest in joining!

Joining OASES is easy, and we welcome individuals with zero experience! We're looking for passionate and committed individuals who are ready to make a difference in the lives of local youth. All we ask is that you:

• be able to dedicate at least one day a week from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM for tutorial,

• fill out our application and indicate your preferred days,

• attend our orientation session, which includes DOJ fingerprinting and training,

• and get a negative TB test BEFORE the first day of tutorial to be allowed to work on a school site.

If you cannot attend orientation once the dates are announced, please let us know ASAP.

No previous experience is necessary—just your dedication to helping students succeed! We’ll provide all the training and support you need to make a meaningful impact. Ready to join? We can’t wait to have you on board!

TB Testing

All mentors need documentation of TB test results from past 3 years or Chest X-ray results from past 3 years (Skin/Blood tests are both acceptable). Risk Assessment is also an option. If you have a TB vaccine, please contact us at oases@ebayc.org for additional information. It is your responsibility to bring your results to/before your first day of tutorial or you will not be allowed on site and will be marked absent. This can be done with your personal health provider, at the Tang Center (~$60 with SHIP), or at the Berkeley Free Clinic (2339 Durant Ave; donation of $5-$15 highly encouraged).
