About Us
Oasis, a non-profit organization, was established in 1992. Lead by founder, Takis
Liris, the organization was initially developed for people in recovery to find support in
the 12-step community, socialize in a safe and supportive environment and to
integrate themselves back into society.
Seventeen years later, Oasis Employment plays a leading role in Toronto’s east
communities by providing career related information and job placement assistance to
persons with barriers to employment. Oasis welcomes over 700 clients per year. Our
client base consists of Employment Insurance and Ontario Works recipients, clients on
Disability Support and those with no income.
Females represent 40% of our membership and new Canadians have been a growing
group in recent years. Oasis’ support model incorporates social integration,
employment focused services and community involvement as a means to achieving
economic independence and self-worth for our clients.
This is made possible with financial support from government agencies, donations
from the Oasis Clothing bank, partnerships with other organizations, program
development, special projects such as bazaars and other fund raising activities.
