Oklahoma Resource Collaborative
Building trust-centered relationships to strengthen coordination, connection, and shared impact across Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma Resource Collaborative is a recurring professional network for community partners, service providers, nonprofit leaders, public agencies, and others working to strengthen communities across Oklahoma. Through weekly virtual meetings and monthly in-person gatherings, participants share updates, exchange resources, discuss emerging needs, build trusted relationships, and identify opportunities for collaboration that support their work and the people they serve.
OUR PURPOSE
Build Trust
We create consistent space for partners, providers, community members, and organizations to build relationships rooted in trust, shared understanding, and mutual respect.
Strengthen Collaboration
The Collaborative brings people together to share updates, learn from one another, and connect around real community needs, resources, and opportunities.
Identify Gaps
By increasing shared visibility across the resource landscape, partners can better recognize unmet needs, reduce unnecessary duplication, and respond with greater awareness.
Coordinate Support
Through stronger relationships and clearer communication, the Collaborative helps partners align efforts, strengthen impact, and create more connected pathways to support for Oklahomans.
ORC Partner Meetings
-
The Oklahoma Resource Collaborative meets virtually every Wednesday from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. These shorter weekly meetings make it easier for community partners to participate during the lunch hour while staying connected to the people, information, and relationships that support their work.
When: Every Wednesday, 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.
Where: Google Meet
Meeting Link: meet.google.com/opj-hsim-evuPlease note: This is meeting link will stay the same week after week and any changes will be communicated by email.
The virtual format offers greater flexibility for partners who may not be able to attend a longer in-person gathering or travel across the city. Participants are encouraged to join for the full meeting whenever possible so they do not miss important introductions, updates, and conversations, but the weekly schedule provides an additional opportunity to remain involved even during a busy workweek.
Each meeting creates space to share current needs, resources, community updates, questions, and opportunities for collaboration. These ongoing conversations help participants expand their professional connections, develop collaborative relationships, and identify information or support that may benefit their organizations, their work, and the people they serve.
No advance registration is required. Please share the meeting information with anyone you believe would be interested in attending, contributing to the conversation, or connecting with other community partners.
-
The Oklahoma Resource Collaborative meets in person on the third Friday of each month from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. at the RestoreOKC Hub.
When: Third Friday of each month, 12:00 to 2:00 p.m.
Where: RestoreOKC Hub - Located within the North Creston Hills Neighborhood
Address: 2222 NE 27th Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73111Our in-person meetings create a kind of connection that is difficult to build through a screen. Being face to face in a shared space helps people feel more present, familiar, and connected. Over time, those shared experiences strengthen trust and make it easier for community partners to speak openly, ask for help, share knowledge, and work through challenges together.
These gatherings provide time to move beyond names, titles, and organizational descriptions and develop a deeper understanding of the people behind the work. Participants can share current needs and opportunities, learn how others are serving the community, make direct connections, and identify practical ways to collaborate across organizations and sectors.
Some of the most valuable moments happen outside the formal conversation, through an introduction across the room, a discussion over coffee, or the realization that someone nearby has the knowledge, relationship, or resource another person has been trying to find.
The coffee shop at RestoreOKC is open during the meeting. Participants are welcome to arrive early, purchase coffee or lunch, and bring it into the meeting.
No advance registration is required. Participants are encouraged to share the meeting information with anyone they believe would benefit from attending, contributing to the conversation, or connecting with other community partners.

COMING SOON,
the PARTNER platform.
We are hard at work creating a space made just for Oklahoma’s community partners to connect, share knowledge, and strengthen relationships beyond our meetings. The Oklahoma Resource Collaborative partner platform will provide a private online community where members can share updates, resources, events, training opportunities, questions, and requests for support.
It is being designed to make it easier to understand who is doing what across the state, build stronger referral connections, and develop collaborative relationships that support their work and the communities they serve. More information about the platform and how to participate will be shared soon.
