Let Your Voice Be Heard—By Becoming a Patch Blogger

Last year, Burnsville Patch launched a blog platform—sort of like an open  community opinion page—and in that time we've gotten some fantastic  contributors filling our Local Voices section.

Take, for example, Burnsville resident and , who has written passionately about how mentorship can change a child's life. Or take a look at the super-useful blogs from Chris Buckley, an expert on all things tech-related, who has guided us through a Latvian hacking crisis and multiple iterations of Facebook.

There are many others—individuals, politicians and organizations, in fact—who choose to be heard on Burnsville Patch. And each one of them brings a different perspective and voice to this community website. Their input makes us a better website, helps us more accurately portray Burnsville and builds bridges in the community.

Want to join their ranks?
