For the OARC, community partnerships are a key part of ensuring the Club’s sustainable longer-term growth and relevance. The OARC works to raise awareness and understanding of Amateur Radio as a hobby and a public service among members of its partner organizations. And, for the partner organization, this collaboration helps build their Amateur Radio capacity, facilitating an increase in trained Amateur Radio operators in their ranks.

The OARC also collaborates widely with the broader Amateur Radio community, which includes other local Amateur Radio clubs and organizations across the country and around the world.
