Current Partnership: City of Oakridge
The City of Oakridge has been selected by the University of Oregon’s Sustainable City Year Program (SCYP) for a two-year partnership. SCYP will match resources from existing university courses to high priority projects identified by the City Council and the Oakridge community such as the Oakridge Industrial Park marketing and development, Willamette Activity Center planning and outreach, city website improvements, urban renewal opportunities and research, housing development planning and design, community service program options, and affordable GIS alternatives for the city.
Project-Based Partnership: Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council
SCYP is entering a new project-based partnership with the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC). COIC is a Council of Governments and federally designated Economic Development District established in 1972 to support regional collaboration, economic development, and community resilience across Central Oregon. Student projects will help support a data-based, coordinated, and region-scale Transportation Safety and Community Outreach Plan to influence safe driving behaviors.
