Youth and Young Adults
The Oregon Youth Resource Map is for young people ages 16 to 25 who are seeking support, services, or opportunities. This includes youth who are navigating mental health challenges, housing instability, school transitions, employment barriers, or other life changes. The Map is designed to support self-directed exploration and empower youth to identify resources that align with their needs, values, and circumstances.
Allies and Supporters
The Map is also intended for trusted adults, peers, family members, educators, case managers, and advocates who support young people. It can be used as a shared tool to explore options, reduce research burden, and facilitate informed conversations without removing youth agency.
Service Providers and Systems
Service providers, community organizations, and systems partners may use the Map to better understand the youth-serving landscape across Oregon, identify gaps, and strengthen referral pathways. The Map supports collaboration rather than competition by making resources visible and accessible.
