Welcome to Oak Hill Collaborative

Makerspace
The Oak Hill MakerSpace supports start-up businesses in the incubator that cannot afford to own and maintain expensive, but essential, equipment. Interested and motivated people can utilize the available tools and equipment provided, borrowed, and donated. Weekly Makerspace meetings and ongoing classes and events that are free and open to the public, aim to bridge the “digital divide” by encouraging local teens and adults to collaborate, innovate, and make.

Community
Oak Hill collaborates with organizations and individuals to develop resident-led initiatives for the improvement of our neighborhoods through community organizing and development. This includes neighborhood beautification; creating garden and small farm plots, arranging for demolition of dilapidated structures, and other revitalization efforts. Local organizations are welcome and encouraged to utilize our community space for meetings, events, and activities.
Digital Advantage Programs
The Oak Hill is helping Bridge the Digital Divide in Youngstown. We are trying to increase broadband capacity, both coverage and download speeds, reduce cost of Internet service, provide computer skills education and provide more economical hardware and software.

Why Oak Hill?
Oak Hill Collaborative demonstrates the power of several intersecting forces – the collaboration of willing participants, the utilization of available resources, faith-based inspiration, and the reliance on private enterprise and business, without government assistance or interference. The Collaborative also serves as an institution for community organizing, providing facilities for any and all neighborhood functions. We provide space for neighborhood block watches, urban planning meetings, ex-offender reentry workshops, labor unions, churches, and many others.
