Resources
This community-driven platform was created from a simple observation: regional institutions want to support each other to create new possibilities. Whether it be tools, materials, knowledge, or programming, many of us are already collaborating and supporting one another behind the scenes. This site aims to make the exchange of materials and knowledge easier, more visible, and more sustainable.
This platform needs you! As a growing, community-driven resource, it will evolve as more people use it, shape it, and share what they need or have to offer. Want to join? Contact Katelyn.
Start by exploring what’s already on the platform. You can search using the filters and keywords or just browse to see what’s out there.
