Street Outreach is part of a non-profit organization In Nashville called Oasis Center. Oasis is a secular organization that is here to help and accept youth in need, not push our personal beliefs. We serve in simple ways like giving away backpacks full of supplies. We also offer things like emergency shelter, transitional living, and counseling.
In street outreach, we work specifically with teens who are homeless and/or have runaway from home. We understand that life can be hard and have helped youth work through a number of issues including homelessness, depression, abuse, neglect, suicide, pregnancy, addiction, sexuality, and empowerment. We are here to provide whatever kind of service you need, be that something simple like a pair of socks or a shower, or helping you find a job or a place to stay.
