Arts enrichment is an important part of freedom and expression within a community. The Concrete Garden and Arts Collaborative believes all children have the right to explore and question. We are committed to exposing and connecting youth with unlimited opportunities to play, tinker, create, and grow. Indoor and outdoor spaces serve as equal learning environments. We take donations from local businesses and use them to provide indoor and outdoor art zones. Help us connect with donors and youth in need.

Oasis Athletics emanated from Dr. Attah Meekins's research focused on the experiences of Black male student-
athletes in Division I sports. Narratives highlighted successes and heightened awareness about the needs and
concerns of an extremely important
population. This research examined the
experiences of Black male student-athletes in the Division I revenue-generating sports of basketball and football, as well as
how Black males perceived the effectiveness of the NCAA supports in place for their academic success, degree attainment, and postcollegiate leadership and career
opportunities. Dr. Attah Meekins's research offers suggestions that more effectively serve Black male student-athletes before, during their transition into, and beyond university sports participation as a strategy to achieve social justice for a historically marginalized group. Oasis Athletics will provide multiple supports for elementary school through university student athletes. Our community is full of people who want to help. We work to connect those able to support with those who need the support.
