Outreach Program

Over 900 young adults in Nashville between the ages of 18 and 24 do not have safe place to sleep at night, a permanent address, or a place they can call “home.”

Oasis Center's Outreach Program is one of the only resources in Metro Nashville dedicated specifically to supporting these young people.

When our staff canvasses the streets, they don't just provide young people with basic supplies like backpacks filled with clothes, hygiene items, food, and information. They start building a trusting relationship and helping youth access the supports they need to leave the streets.

Every day, an average of 24 young people come to the Outreach Center to eat a home-cooked meal, take a shower, do laundry, pick up hygiene items and snacks, and connect with caring adults. Our case managers work with youth to help them find housing and establish long-term plans for their lives, including obtaining healthcare, employment, education, transportation, and more.
