Detailed Description

Strategies

The High School Graduation Network believes that all students can reach their fullest potential, graduate from high school, and be prepared for their next step with the proper resources and supports in place. To attain this, we are focused on two strategies: supporting positive identity formation and strengthening support networks for youth. 

In practice, this currently looks like: 

  • Offering culturally responsive professional development to schools, community partners, and students 

  • Evaluating after-school and summer expanded learning programming 

  • Facilitating students through a deep-dive data analysis with their respective schools by hosting a student data summit

  • Facilitating Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) completion through collaboration with community-based organizations and content experts

  • Centering student voice around school safety procedures

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.
