StoryMap

Use this interactive tool to see the map of collaboratives in Oregon and learn about the history of collaboration in the state. You can click on “Explore Map” in the bottom right corner of the map panel to zoom in and select individual collaboratives.

Note: The inventory data for Version 1.0 was collected in 2019 and thus doesn't capture changes that have occurred since then. Some collaboratives and collaborative platforms no longer exist and there may be new state-supported collaboratives and collaborative platforms that have emerged.
