The High Desert Partnership Collaboration Center will be a regional hub where people will learn and practice how collaboration works, enabling them to return to their communities, organizations, and agencies equipped to lead their own collective efforts.
Built on a strong foundation
For more than 20 years, the High Desert Partnership has used trust-based, community-driven collaboration to solve Harney County's toughest ecological, economic, and social challenges. Opening in 2028 the Collaboration Center will exist to teach the skills gained through that experience.
