That\u2019s when they heard about Oasis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was dealing with a lot,\u201d says Ramsey. \u201cOnce I started going to Oasis, it was a huge change in my life, and I\u2019m so glad I joined. It\u2019s extremely valuable to have a place where you feel like you belong and you can be yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OasisYouthCenter\/?mibextid=LQQJ4d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oasis Youth Center<\/a> is the only queer youth center in Pierce County, and it serves LGBTQ+ youth through leadership, advocacy and prevention programming.<\/p>\n<p>Oasis was founded in 1985 to address many of the same issues LGBTQ+ individuals still face today: family rejection, bullying, HIV and needing a place to learn about healthy relationships, explains Executive Director Matthew Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Oasis helps youth and young adults \u2014 primarily ages 11-24 \u2014 navigate systems and resources to assist with a variety of needs. Despite being colocated with the Rainbow Center and sponsored by Pierce County AIDS Foundation (PCAF), Oasis Youth Center is its own organization, meaning it offers dedicated space, time and personnel in support of LGBTQ+ youth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYouth don\u2019t talk about things the same way adults do,\u201d Wilson says. \u201cWe provide a safe space and supportive environment that can help youth navigate the systems that are set up for adults.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Activities span from a youth leadership council to open mic nights and QTIPOC (queer, trans, intersex people of color) peer connection to mentorship. Oasis can also help with emergency financial assistance and connecting youth to additional community resources.<\/p>\n<p>Most important: It\u2019s a safe space where individuals are celebrated and supported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOasis is a place to be yourself and not have to worry about the stress of your identity,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cSome people joke that when you\u2019re at Oasis, your sexual orientation or gender identity is the most boring part about you, whereas other parts of your life, it\u2019s a point of fascination or tension or harassment. You get to show more of yourself here.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25723\" style=\"width: 251px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25723\" class=\" wp-image-25723\" src=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/04\/Phoenix-150x300.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait of a person with blonde braids and a rainbow Pride necklace and pins\" width=\"241\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/04\/Phoenix-150x300.jpg 150w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/04\/Phoenix-512x1024.jpg 512w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/04\/Phoenix-768x1536.jpg 768w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/04\/Phoenix-1024x2048.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/04\/Phoenix.jpg 1036w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25723\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Phoenix Ramsey found support and community at Oasis Youth Center in Tacoma.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>For Ramsey, Oasis not only provides a source of support but also opportunities for personal growth \u2014 both formally through leadership roles on the Youth Council and informally through workshops for younger attendees, such as resume writing or job searching.<\/p>\n<p>Both Wilson and Ramsey admit that taking the first step to get involved can feel intimidating, especially for youth who haven\u2019t previously felt accepted in other spaces. That\u2019s why Oasis strives to meet youth where they are \u2014 literally and figuratively. The center offers mobile intake, where a staff member or volunteer will meet youth at a coffee shop or library.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t know what walking into Oasis would be like,\u201d Ramsey says. \u201cOnce you take that step, you realize this is a really welcoming place. Even if you feel like you haven\u2019t been welcome in other places before, Oasis will be that exception.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oasis Youth Center operates six days a week and is ramping back up to its pre-pandemic operations, when it served about 900 youth a year. Oasis relies on volunteer support and community donations to serve LGBTQ+ youth throughout greater Pierce County. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OasisYouthCenter\/?mibextid=LQQJ4d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visit their Facebook page for more information or to get involved<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPierce County is only going to be more vibrant when more people can be themselves and be confident in who they are,\u201d says Wilson.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cPartnering for healing and a healthy future\u201d is MultiCare\u2019s mission, and it inspires us to form connections that help improve the quality of life for our communities.
