Who We Are
Oasis Youth Care was created to meet the needs of young people who have faced a difficult start to life and are missing a stable, supportive foundation of ‘HOME & FAMILY’ to succeed into adulthood.
Called out by Isaiah 58:12, Grace Udodong followed a deep passion to create a safe haven where young people needing support can access the help they need to stabilize, thrive and become valuable community builders.
The first Oasis opened its doors in 2020 and has served many youths and their families in the Halton Region of Ontario offering transitional housing, life skills training, and mentoring support.

Did you know?
Halton Region Youth In/At Risk Research Report indicated growing incidences of youth homelessness in the Halton Region, but it is the kind of homelessness that have youth sleeping in cars, backyard tents, couch-surfing, and not on the streets. Therefore, hidden and not immediately visible to the public eye.
Thank you to our Funders
Because of you, our youth are able to build and reach their educational and employment goals
