Abstract
The All Under One Roof (AUOR) partnership in Missoula, MT is based on an innovative approach to community collaboration, collective impact, and intergenerational networks. Five mission-aligned organizations share one site, including a public library, non-profit family services, a local media outlet, and program-based university partners that excel in the areas of STEM education. Together, the partners maximize resources, produce collaborative programming, and create a learning environment that is both building- and community-wide. Intergenerational learning is woven throughout the AUOR objectives, and reflected most notably in special events, mentorship programs, and outreach to rural and Indigenous communities. This case study provides a model that advances the museum field and can be used by practitioners, leaders, education researchers, and others working in museums and other third places.

The Journal of Museum Education (JME) is the premier peer-reviewed publication exploring and reporting on theory, training, and practice in the museum education field. Journal articles—written by museum, education, and research professionals—explore such relevant topics as learning theory, visitor evaluation, teaching strategies for art, science, and history museums, and the responsibilities of museums as public institutions. Published 4 times a year, each issue consists of a guest edited section focused on a specific theme and articles about new research, current trends, tools, frameworks, and case studies, perspectives, and book, exhibit, and program reviews.
