Organization Information


Organization: Youth Commission

Sector: Collective ; Government Agency

Organization Mission: Walking through the Government Center cafeteria around 5pm on the 1st Wednesday of any month, May through June, you cannot help but notice a large group of teens and adults gathered. The energy levels are high, and the excitement is contagious. These inspiring young people are members of the Rochester-Olmsted Youth Commission, an intergenerational group of teens and whose work is supported through a YCpartnership between the City of Rochester and Olmsted County. Youth Commissioners advocate for youth leadership and civic engagement in our community and have gone on to serve their communities locally and around the world in education, healthcare, business and government service. The Commission is a testament to the value our elected officials place in the capacity for youth to help shape a just and sustainable future.

About Beam
  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
