Organization Information


Organization: Rochester Local (Rochester Mom)

Sector: Collective

Organization Mission: Our number one goal in creating Rochester Mom was to create a community on and offline through our content as well as our in-person events. Moms need moms to support and encourage one another in this epic journey we are all on together.

Website

Rochester Mom

Rochester Local launched on October 7, 2015, as Rochester MN Moms Blog.  In early 2020, we rebranded to Rochester Mom.  Recognizing that our website had become a resource for more than just moms and parents in the area, in October 2022 our name changed to Rochester Local and is written by writers who live in the greater Rochester Area. From locally-focused resources and guides to parenting, parks, camps, schools, product reviews, local activities, events round-ups, and more, our online community wants to be your go-to resource for all things parenting in our area. Our community begins online, but doesn’t stop there! We also host events throughout the year.
Since our launch in 2015, we have had hundreds of thousands of visitors to our website and have hosted thousands of local families at our events. Want to learn more? Head over to our website at rochesterlocal.com!

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.
