change is inevitable,

—Glenda Cloud
The OASIS Institute
2007 Annual Report
OASIS participants enjoy
opportunities to challenge their
minds, improve their health,
connect with others, build skills
and serve the community.
change is
inevitable
As the aging population continues
to grow, the need for programs
designed to help mature adults
live active, independent lives also
increases. OASIS is responding to
this need by reaching out to a larger
population—an integral part of our
five-year business plan. Our growth
will be intentional as we work to
increase our impact, sustainability and
capacity to serve a wider audience.
Growth has been a hallmark of OASIS. The opportunities for personal
growth through OASIS inspire people to challenge their minds, improve
their health, and connect with their community.
We in turn are inspired as we witness the growth and impact of thousands
of OASIS members who help children succeed in school, share their skills and
knowledge, and help their peers adopt healthier lifestyles.
In its first 25 years, OASIS has grown into one of the most experienced and
successful educational organizations for mature adults. There is tremendous
need for our programs that keep people active and independent. This need
led us to develop a five-year business plan last year to significantly increase
our impact.
I am pleased and proud to announce that The Atlantic Philanthropies has
made a grant to The OASIS Institute of $2.5 million over three years. The grant
gives us a major jump-start on the funding needed to implement our business
plan. The Atlantic Philanthropies is a leader in promoting lasting changes
to help vulnerable and disadvantaged people. Their support will enable us
to invest in our national network and build our capacity to reach a broader
audience.
As we plan this new phase of growth, we have much experience to draw
on. Outreach was part of the original mission of OASIS. In the early 80s we
began training volunteers to offer educational programs out in the community,
to meet the needs of people who were not able to come to an OASIS center.
In recent years we have increased opportunities for people to benefit from
our humanities, health and technology programs through a wide range of
outreach sites.
We intend to build on this experience, forging new partnerships and
expanding opportunities for mature adults to enrich their lives. I am very
grateful to the Board of Directors who guided us through the development of
the plan and to all of you who have invested in our work to reach this frontier.
Your continued support will help us fulfill our intention to make an enduring
impact on a social issue that affects millions nationwide.
Letter from the Chairman
Marylen Mann
Chairman
The OASIS Institute Board of Directors
As we begin our second quarter-century, our efforts to expand OASIS
programs to a larger, more diverse audience are bearing fruit. The
stories in this report demonstrate some of the ways we are partnering
to make a greater impact on the lives of mature adults.
Our evidence-based health programs, for example, are helping people
in urban and rural areas make lasting lifestyle changes. Lifelong Learning
Institutes are presenting our humanities program, The Immigrant Experience,
which fosters growth in understanding of what it means to be an American.
Partnerships with aging service agencies, libraries and other organizations are
expanding our technology training curriculum to more communities.
Our five-year business plan will build on this success to reach a broad
audience, including underserved populations throughout the country. The
plan lays out the strategy for strengthening the organization and building
our financial sustainability to support this growth.
After all the months of research and strategy development, it is exciting
to move into the implementation phase of the plan. In each of our centers
we are beginning to create action plans and investing resources to build the
capacity they need to reach out to their communities. New business intelligence
tools will provide the centers with key financial and program data to inform
decisions. We are also building capacity at the Institute to provide the centers
with the assistance they need in marketing, fundraising, technology and
professional development.
Even as we work to strengthen our centers, we are looking ahead to
phase two of the plan, which will focus on moving into new communities
and providing national leadership in the delivery of lifelong learning and
service programs.
Letter from the President
We are thankful to all the individuals, foundations and corporations
who support our mission. Special thanks to the Macy’s Foundation for their
longstanding support. We are excited about what we can all accomplish
working together to help people continue to be active, contributing members
of society. These are exciting times!

The OASIS Institute
Carolyn Allen enjoys teaching courses in
beginning computers, digital photography,
word processing and more in Houston.
Embracing Technology, Embracing Change
Nothing seems to illustrate just how
profoundly change can impact day-to-day
life for older adults than the evolution of
technology. Older adults today are using
technology to stay connected to loved ones
and find new ways to grow.
In Tucson, the Pima County Library
system chose Connections as the standard
for all beginning computer classes in 15
libraries. OASIS trained 12 instructors and
the libraries are offering courses in Spanish
and English.
“I love teaching the OASIS computer
classes. Watching the students learn is
amazing,” says Carolyn Allen, a volunteer
instructor in Houston. Through OASIS
Connections classes, older adults are
learning how to use email, search the
Internet, protect their privacy and even
how to use their cell phones.
Updating computer skills can be a
necessity for people in the job market.
Pat Morris discovered Connections classes
at Community Options in San Diego,
an agency that provides job training
and placement for older adults. Morris
volunteered to teach the classes and says
the experience helped her pursue a dream
to start her own business—helping people
set up home computers and providing
individual instruction. She says that even
those who have some experience with
computers can find themselves behind
after a few years away. “They need to go
online to do a job search,” says Morris. “Or
they just need to get in front of a computer
again to get back their confidence.”
“It’s a great thing to keep seniors
connected with the mainstream,” says
Cathie Berger, director of the Atlanta
Regional Commission (ARC) Area Agency
on Aging. “This training helps them stay
active and independent. Working with
OASIS has enabled us to offer technology
training to older adults who haven’t
had the opportunity before.” Employees
of Concord Management, a property
management company, are volunteering to
teach classes in Atlanta.
OASIS’ commitment to helping older
adults embrace technology received
a major boost from a $1 million grant
from the AT&T Foundation in 2006. Last
year that support helped OASIS work
with 73 outreach partners, like the ARC,
to offer low-cost training for a broad
audience. More than 6,500 people enrolled
in classes through OASIS centers, senior
centers, libraries, parks departments and
other partners.
Morris credits the Connections
curriculum as a key to success for both
teachers and students as it is structured,
easy to follow and fun. “I love seeing them
discover that it’s not that difficult, that they
can succeed,” Morris says.
Pat Morris started a
business helping people
set up home computers.
Mary Butorac and her student Ricardo make
a booklet about whales, one of the activities
found in the new Tutor Power library.
Tutoring Program Prepares for Growth
“Wednesday is my most favorite day
of the week! That’s the day you’re here.”
Hearing this from her student
keeps OASIS tutor Mary Butorac
coming back each week to volunteer
with the Vista School District in North
San Diego County.
Since 1989 OASIS Intergenerational
Tutoring has reached more than 250,000
students, helping them build reading
skills and confidence. As the program
grows, OASIS must build capacity to
help volunteers work effectively with
their students.
To that end, OASIS recently rolled out
Tutor Power, an online resource library
for tutors. Developed through funding
from Anheuser Busch and the Monsanto
Fund, the searchable database of session
plans, books, and activities is accessible
24/7, making planning easier than ever
for volunteers.
Tutor Power also helps the district
coordinators. They can easily print
materials to use at tutor meetings or
recommend activities to match a child’s
interest. The ever-expanding library
is searchable by keyword, book title,
author and interest level.
Cultivating Effective Partnerships
School districts often wrestle with
changing staff and limited resources.
OASIS creates solutions without
compromising the quality of the
program by creating partnerships with
organizations to achieve common goals.
“I used to spend twice as much time
preparing for lessons,” Butorac says.
She was so excited about the new library
that she made a presentation at the
monthly tutor meeting to train others
in how to use it.
“Tutor Power makes all of our
resources accessible to our tutors in a
much more convenient way,” says
Jan Clover, national tutoring manager.
“It makes volunteering easier by putting
materials right at their fingertips.”

Ray Orley how to use the new Tutor Power
library to find good books for their students
in the Albuquerque Public Schools.

A collaboration with Prime Time
LAUSD, a volunteer project sponsored
by the Sherry Lansing Foundation,
created a solution for the Los Angeles
Unified School District. OASIS and Prime
Time teamed up to provide a coordinator
and trainer to introduce Intergenerational
Tutoring in three LAUSD schools.
The Baldwin Hills OASIS center offered
a pool of volunteers to help children in
these nearby schools.
When Big Brothers Big Sisters of
Albuquerque (BBBS) approached OASIS
about working together, coordinator Pat
Mallory saw the potential right away.
“Big Brothers Big Sisters enables us
to do more for our tutors,” Mallory says.
BBBS provides a qualified staff person to
maintain ongoing contact with the tutors,
school staff, and the students. This keeps
tutors motivated and willing to do more
and allows Mallory time to be out in the
community recruiting volunteers.
school districts
schools
tutors
students
Volunteers themselves play an
important role in building capacity.
Mary Toscano recruits and supports her
fellow tutors as the program coordinator
in Syracuse. She says her most challenging
role is the training. “I enjoy it, but often
my trainees want formulas that will
work with every student and that
just doesn’t exist. The reassuring part
is once tutors are in the classroom they
adjust quite easily and are wonderful
about meeting the individual needs
of their students.”
Keeping thousands of tutors engaged
with their students requires coordination
and creativity. By listening to volunteers,
coordinators, school districts and
partners, OASIS can provide more
children with caring, trained mentors
to help them succeed in school.
“We have 102 years of experience
matching adult volunteers with kids,”
says Louis Garcia, BBBS chief operating
officer. “We offer an established
infrastructure and solid funding
resources, and OASIS provides access
to a valuable pool of volunteers and a
program that’s proven to work.”

OASIS Tutoring in Syracuse.
Proven Health Programs Change Lives
“You just don’t know which days
you’re going to feel up to doing
something,” says Gloria Bruce of
Farmington, Missouri, a rural community
more than an hour from OASIS in
St. Louis.
Bruce, who lives with an autoimmune
condition, signed up for a course in
Chronic Disease Self Management.
The class was offered by the Older Adult
Wellness Program of St. Francois County,
a partnership of OASIS, Parkland Health
Center, and BJC Behavioral Health.
Funded by the Missouri Foundation for
Health, the program has drawn more than
200 participants.
“After taking the chronic disease class,
I didn’t feel so alone. I’ve come to believe
I can live with it,” Bruce says. She now
serves as a volunteer facilitator for the
course and for another peer discussion
group. “It has helped me become more
empathetic,” she adds.
Kathy Cannell-David, director of
rehab and wellness at Parkland, says the
wellness program combats social isolation
and depression, a leading cause of death
for older adults. “As a community, we
aren’t reaching out to each other. That is
what programs such as this are all about,”
says Cannell-David.
“After taking the
chronic disease
class, I didn’t feel
so alone. I’ve come
to believe I can
live with it,” says
Gloria Bruce.
“Happiness is neither virtue
nor pleasure nor this thing
nor that but simply growth.
We are happy when we
are growing.” — William Butler Yeats
The Power of Evidence-Based
Programs
Developed by Stanford University,
the chronic disease course is an example
of evidence-based programs that have
been tested and proven to help people
make positive, long-term health changes.
The willingness of Bruce and others
like her to lead these programs with their
peers is making a positive impact on
thousands of adults. OASIS has trained
facilitators in 13 cities to offer evidencebased programs promoting physical
activity, healthy eating, and other lifestyle
changes. More than 2,500 older adults
have participated through OASIS centers
and outreach sites.
“The OASIS approach is in line
with what I’m seeing nationally as the
successful model for implementing these
programs,” says Dr. Nancy Whitelaw,
director of the National Council on
Aging’s Center for Healthy Aging.
“The local centers work with community
partners to implement the programs, and
OASIS has another layer of support and
expertise through its national office.”
The strength of the OASIS model
for delivering programs has made
forging new partnerships to reach
target audiences all the more feasible.
For example, Cleveland OASIS and
MetroHealth are offering Active Living
Every Day with support from the Mt.
Sinai Health Care Foundation. Mitchell
Balk, president of the foundation, says
the shared goals and complementary
strengths of the two organizations make
the collaboration ideal.
“MetroHealth serves a mix of patients,
including older adults with lower incomes
and a growing Hispanic community,” says
Balk. “OASIS, with its proven delivery of
health programs, has demonstrated the
know-how that benefits this community.”
Dr. Nancy Whitelaw is
the director of the National
Council on Aging’s Center
for Healthy Aging.
New Evaluations Provide Better
Information on Health Program Results
Now OASIS centers can easily get reports
on results of their evidence-based programs.
In 2007 OASIS created an evaluation database
using scanning software to collect data from
paper surveys. Participants report the status
of their health, physical activity, confidence,
satisfaction with body function, and other
indicators. The body function measure reported
below asks how satisfied participants are with
their fitness, strength, stamina, and energy level.

Combating Childhood Obesity
Janice Tyler says she has started “a
whole new life” since she volunteered to
help with the Active Generations project
in Pittsburgh. The intergenerational
project aims to reduce childhood
obesity by promoting physical activity
and healthy eating for low-income
children and their families. Tyler says
she has enjoyed the project so much that
recruiting other older adults to participate
comes naturally.
“I tell them how much fun they can
have and how much it means to me,” says
Tyler. “Working with the children has also
helped me with my diabetes and to keep
exercising like I should.”
OASIS centers in San Antonio and
Pittsburgh have explored two promising
approaches for Active Generations. Both
use CATCH—Coordinated Approach
to Child Health—an evidence-based,
nationally recognized curriculum.
Pittsburgh OASIS collaborated with
Wisdom Works, an initiative of the
National Council on Aging (NCOA)
sponsored by the MetLife Foundation,
to evaluate the effectiveness of selfdirected teams of volunteers in creating
community solutions.
Janice Tyler’s involvement
in Active Generations has
helped her focus on improving
her own health even as she
encourages children to adopt
healthy lifestyles.
Elaine Johnson (center) and students in the
Active Generations project talk about ways
to eat more healthfully.
“Because our country is facing
an epidemic of childhood obesity,
the nationwide implications for
this project cannot be overstated,”
says Constance Todd, director of
Wisdom Works. “Wisdom Works
addresses two needs: that of newly
retired individuals who are seeking
meaningful volunteer opportunities
and social connections, and that of
nonprofits who increasingly have more
people to serve with fewer resources.”
“A lot of our volunteers were newly
retired professionals. They were willing
to help, but reluctant to lead in the
beginning,” recalls Rita Randal, the
key volunteer facilitator in Pittsburgh.
Randal has observed a shift in ownership
of the program over the last 18 months.
Evaluations indicate that healthy lifestyle
changes are happening for the children,
and the volunteers, enjoying feedback,
have taken on more leadership.
San Antonio OASIS received
funding from the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation to discover how effectively
lifestyle changes can be made using
CATCH as a starting point to create
environmental changes in the community.
The pilot in two federally funded after
school programs was so successful that
all 15 of the after school programs now
require at least 20 minutes of physical
activity, daily impacting 1,800 children.
By conducting walkability
assessments in the neighborhoods
surrounding the schools with the
Metropolitan Planning Organization
and a community action group, OASIS
brought about changes to promote
safe walking routes to the schools.
New signage at intersections and other
improvements have already increased the
number of students walking to school.
In 2008 OASIS will publish a
replication report on Active Generations
for organizations that are eager to
promote these healthy changes in their
communities.
Freedom from Falling
Research indicates that fear of falling
actually increases an older person’s
chances of doing just that—falling.
Bill Baucum of San Antonio has fallen
before, so to reduce the chances of falling
again he enrolled in Free from Falls at
Morningside Ministries Meadows where
he lives. Baucum joined an exercise class
to promote strength and balance skills
and says he enjoyed the camaraderie with
other class members.
Baucum also learned about simple
changes to make his home a “falls free
zone” and how to access resources to
make these changes. He made several
improvements including a ramp to
replace the step up to his home, a shower
chair, a rubber bath mat and a handheld
shower head. Combined with balance
training, changes like these can help older
adults gain back the confidence they need
to stay on their feet.
of Governments Bexar Area Agency on
Aging. “OASIS makes a good partner
because they have the staff, volunteers
and resources needed to allow both
organizations to expand into communities
we weren’t reaching before,” says BAAA
Director Carol Zernial.
Zernial says OASIS programs like Free
from Falls and Matter of Balance add an
attractive element: credibility. To develop
the Free from Falls curriculum, OASIS
worked with Drs. Jon Pynoos, Debra
Rose, and Christy Nishita, researchers at
the Fall Prevention Center of Excellence
in California. Matter of Balance is
an evidence-based balance program
developed at Roybal Center at Boston
University to reduce fear of falling and
increase activity levels.
That curriculum has been distributed
across the country and is now offered
at OASIS centers in St. Louis, Portland,
Pittsburgh, San Antonio and Montgomery
County, Maryland and through other
organizations in four cities. For agencies
serving older adults, OASIS has done the
work, providing a successful model to
make a powerful impact on the health
of older adults.

Experience on what his parents
faced as new Americans.
Immigration Program Builds

Holland—didn’t speak that much Dutch
in their home.

manifests of the ships that brought them
over and read letters from his grandfather,
describing the experiences of the family
to his relations back in Holland. Still, he
wanted more insight.
“They spoke Dutch when they
didn’t want the children to understand
what they were saying,” laughs Ten
Brinke. “But I could generally pick up
on the conversation.”
“There’s such a degree of bias
regarding immigration, especially today.
I’m interested to what extent did my
parents experience that bias when they
arrived,” he says. He found some answers
by enrolling in a course at OASIS.
His parents came separately through
Ellis Island to the United States. His
mother was just a young girl when
she left with her family from a town
near Amsterdam to make the journey
to America.
“The Immigrant Experience:
A Journey to Becoming American” is a
national education project on the history
of immigration in America. Funded by the
National Endowment for the Humanities,
the project explores the story through five
core courses in history, literature, film,
food, and culture.
“I think my grandfather came here
for a better life, for greater personal and
religious freedom,” he muses.
Because OASIS centers are found in
diverse communities, the immigrant story
in each city varies. Rochester members

Funding and Financial Review
During 2007, the OASIS Institute
staff and Board invested extensively in
the development of a five year business
plan with one of the three major goals
focused on financial sustainability and
operational efficiency at the national and
local level. A grant of $150,000 from The
Atlantic Philanthropies in 2006 provided
the necessary funding to develop the plan.
Institute a grant of $2.5 million in March
2008 leaving a total of $1.6 million in
new funds to be raised by 2010.
The OASIS Institute continued to
increase its capability to offer evidencebased health programs and expand the
technology and volunteer programs
throughout the country.
The business plan calls for targeted
investments in the local centers to achieve
specific goals and objectives that will
result in increased capacity across the
OASIS network. Implementation of
Phase I (2008 – 2010) will require raising
an additional $4.1 million. The Atlantic
Philanthropies awarded The OASIS
The AT&T Foundation made a
$1 million grant in December 2006
to help older adults in diverse and
underserved areas learn and improve
their technology skills and prepare to
enter or re-enter the workforce.
The substantial amount of activities
covered under this grant was
implemented throughout 2007.

Josefina Carbonell, U.S. Assistant Secretary of Aging, was
the keynote speaker at OASIS’ 25th Anniversary Celebration.
She remarked on OASIS’ achievements through public and private
partnerships to promote successful aging. “We know that people
who stay engaged in their communities feel empowered, connected
and that they are accomplishing something,” said Carbonell.
In honor of OASIS’ 25th anniversary, the OASIS Institute Board
of Directors established the Marylen Mann Leadership Award for
Creativity and Excellence. The annual award will recognize OASIS
centers for outstanding programs with prizes of up to $2,500.
The board has raised more than $50,000 for the award.
