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.

TB Testing

All mentors need documentation of TB test (skin/blood) results from past 3 years or Chest X-ray results from past 2 years. 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).

Missed Orientation?

To complete your Independent DOJ Clearance and Fingerprinting, you will need a valid government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license, Real ID, or passport) and your SSN or ITIN. Please email us so that we can send you the required live scan form. You can visit any of the approved fingerprinting locations listed on this website: https://oag.ca.gov/fingerprints/locations, and present your completed form and ID.

The fees typically start at $50, although this may vary. The most convenient location near campus is the UPS Store at 2512 Telegraph Ave, which accepts walk-ins and charges around $50 (as of 2025). Please note that reimbursement for the fingerprinting fee may be possible, depending on club policies for the current semester, and decisions are made by the finance agents and FUND committee. If you wish to request reimbursement, please email us directly.
