Just Us
Why can’t we be . . .
Just Us is an Oasis Center program dedicated
to serving young people, 13-21 years of age,
who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender
or are questioning their sexual orientation and/or
gender identity.
Just Us provides services focused on support
and advocacy through:
1) Relentless outreach to young people, their families, and community allies
2) Bi-weekly support and educational events for engaged youth
3) Monthly social events for engaged youth and guest youth
4) Individual support and group counseling
5) Advocacy with schools, families and others identified by youth
6) Referrals and door openers with other programs, agencies, and services
Every month, young people come together to
form a circle and stand in their truth. No matter
what their truth is, they are heard, they are
respected, and they are embraced by a group of
their peers and supportive adults. Creating a safe
space to share feelings and life experiences is the
goal of “Pride Circle.”
If you are seeking to be real and to build your
inner strength, then you should join the circle
and be apart of a life changing experience.

Knowledge is what empowers us with the courage
to explore our world with intention and purpose. 
“Equality 101” explores topics of historical
significance to the LGBT community as well as
engages young people in social action. Areas of
concern are identified by our young people and
then developed into youth led service learning
and social change projects by youth for a youth
led educational opportunity.
If you want to learn, grow and create change in
the community, Equality 101 is for you!
