The Oasis Teens Environmental Program allows teens between the ages of 14-19 to voluntarily participate in environmental work. The 15 teens dedicated 5 Hours each week to participate in this program. Their jobs were to regularly pick up trash on the four blocks and vacant lot that make up the boundaries of The Urban Oasis, cultivate community gardens within the Panway community, the Hanlon community, and Hilton Elementary School, distribute flyers to community residents to keep them informed of upcoming events and activities, aid in the creation of a proposed trail design for the Greenway Trail Network, and help with event setup for Events at The Urban Oasis. Through this program, the youth learn social responsibility, and play an active part in cultivating produce to be used for Farmer's markets, generating revenue for the community. This program was done in collaboration with the 3200 Carlisle Block Association and the Victorine Q. Adams Community Garden. Grant funding to cover the cost of the program was provided by Baltimore City's BMore Beautiful Program, BGE/Exelon, and the West Baltimore Renaissance Foundation. 12001 12001 The Urban Oasis built up the physical environment to promote infrastructural development that would help the community use its outdoor green spaces.
