March 13, 2026 Oasis Charter Schools is proud to announce a community alliance with Family Initiative, Inc., which will join the Oasis Family of Community Partners. The partnership brings together two organizations that share a common mission: Supporting children and families through meaningful community engagement and resources. Both organizations were founded with a focus on prioritizing children's learning needs and supporting their parents, recognizing that strong families and nurturing environments are key to helping young people succeed. The new partner's first initiative is to introduce sensory-friendly gadgets to children and families during Boston Red Sox spring training at JetBlue Park. The 3D-printed sensory toys will be designed and manufactured by Oasis STEM Innovation students and will be available inside the Family Initiative Mobile Sensory Trailer located behind third base at Fenway South. Family Initiative vice president, Anjali Van Orie, said during the off-season, the sensory trailer also serves as a stand-alone resource at community events, expanding access for families throughout the community. Jacquelin Collins, Superintendent of Oasis Charter Schools, shares, "The aim of the alliance is to support Family Initiative by providing hands-on resources that children can use to help them feel safe, supported, and welcomed in all spaces. By combining their efforts, the two organizations hope to expand their impact and strengthen community connections.
