(MAHWAH, NJ) – A group of Ramapo College student volunteers have spent nearly every Wednesday this semester at Oasis: A Haven for Women and Children in Paterson, NJ, a non-profit community-based organization that offers disadvantaged women and children a GED program, work readiness classes, after-school child care, food and clothing pantries as well as lunch and dinner meals.

Senior Lauren MacDonald, of Hoboken, NJ, a student coordinator in the College’s Community Service Center (CSC), initiated the volunteerism after she saw that Oasis needed math and science tutors for its GED program and additional volunteers for the after-school child care program.

Volunteers for this semester include Nicole Alvarado of Pompton Lakes, NJ, Jenna Crincoli of Glen Gardner, NJ, Rebecca Gokberk of Neptune City, NJ, Sarah Kenyon of Ridgewood, NJ, Tiffany Liang of Montville, NJ, Alexandra Marin of Hackensack, NJ, Candace Mitchell from Hammonton, NJ, and Emily Schnier of North Brunswick, NJ.
