The Oasis Center for Women & Girls' mission is to improve the lives of women and girls through celebration and support. | The Oasis Center

• The organization is very active on their FB page, uploading almost every day. They organize camps for women and girls and recently set up a table at Tiki Fest, where they sold t-shirts, provided free period pads for girls, and shared information about their programs.

• Kelly Otte was the founder and executive director of the Oasis Center. In 2007, Otte noticed that there was no organization in Florida that focused on women's empowerment. This inspired her to create a diverse environment where women and girls from all walks of life are connected and empowered.

• This coming October 18, 2024 they will have an event called "Celebration for Women & Girls" where the local females will showcase their artistic talent.

• Nodarse accepted an invitation to compete in Colombia for the PanAm Qualifying Games, a program recognized by the Olympics, from August 1st to 5th. She will participate in the Team USA Residency Camp in Milton before heading to Italy to compete in the World Skate Games in September.
