OASSSIS Mission
The mission of the OASSSIS Program is to proactively outreach to Spanish-speaking immigrant students and provide them with the resources necessary to excel at our college. Our focus is Spanish-speaking students in need of basic skills training and English as Second Language learners
OASSSIS Description
OASSSIS is the outcome of a partnership between our college and Somos Mayfair, a non-profit organization that serves families in the East San Jose Mayfair community. Somos Mayfair’s mission is to support families to be healthy and resilient; to build a vibrant community; and to contribute to the larger people’s movement for justice. Evergreen Valley College proactively provides specialized outreach to the families in this community, through informational sessions, classes and workshops at their local sites. Staff has been assigned to the Somos Mayfair offices to be available for the community.
