Highlights

The Rochester-Olmsted Youth Commission is bringing the Tents of Witness exhibit to Rochester on April 13th – April 16th.

We need all the help we can get with advertising and volunteer recruitment. Staffing hours for volunteers are Saturday, April 13^th from 9:30am – 7pm, Sunday, April 14^th from 9:30am – 7pm, Monday, April 15^th 8am - 7pm, and Tuesday, April 16th from 8am – 4pm. Shifts will last 3.5 hours, and we have built in some time to acclimate volunteers when they arrive. I have attached information that will be helpful for exhibit volunteers to review. We also need help on Friday, April 14th from 4pm – 6pm to set up the exhibit, and on Tuesday, April 16th from 4pm – 6pm to take it down.

Here is the link to our online signup for volunteers. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0E4EA5A729A0F85-tents

It is relatively easy to use but anyone who wants to help out can also contact me for assistance or the Youth Commissioners listed as “Contacts” on the draft press release. We have a flyer in the works, but it is not yet finalized – I will send it as soon as it is ready. The press release will help explain the exhibit to your friends and colleagues and they can always go to the Tents website for additional information.

About Beam

Community Beam (dmcbeam.org) is a registry of private and public resources (organizations, projects, initiatives, programs) that underpin economic and social developments of greater Rochester:

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.
