About the The Salvation Army's Sydney Oasis Youth Support Network:
The Salvation Army’s response to youth homelessness in Sydney’s inner-city, Oasis Youth Support Network (Oasis) provides a place of safety and care where young people can find refuge. Working with young people, aged 16 to 25, most of whom have experienced complex trauma, Oasis offers opportunities for young people to embrace their potential and envision their life taking a different path.
From crisis and transitional accommodation, through to case management, education and training, living skills and outreach, Oasis works to re-establish choice, self-worth and confidence in a safe environment, empowering young people to move forward in their lives and make positive choices for their futures.
Many of the young people who access our service are estranged from family and lack strong social networks and support systems. Thanks to volunteers we are able to run a Monday Lunch program that aims to provide healthy and nutritious meals to young people who access our service. The communal environment this opportunity creates helps to establish bonds with peers, staff and volunteers. The program also encourages young people to gain simple skills by actively being involved.
Associated Costs:
Your assistance in helping us to run a Monday Lunch program that aims to provide healthy and nutritious meals to young people who access our service is greatly appreciated! To help support the work of the Oasis Youth Support Network we ask your team to cover the costs of the ingredients for lunch which we estimate will cost approximately $120.
Things to note:
As representatives of The Salvation Army and Oasis please wear modest and respectful clothes (no shorts please) with enclosed flat shoes. The Center is easily accessed by bus or a short 15 minute walk from Central Station, with limited parking available in and around Crown Street.
