Your Community Matters, Spread The Good Word About Your Town

Are you plugged into your community? Are you active with community groups like the local PTA, schools, little league sports or you just simply love your town? Have you ever wished for a way to spread the word about community news and events beyond a social media post? Our Patch Mayor program might be perfect for you!

As a Patch Mayor you'll be able to:

• Spread the word to your neighbors and fellow residents about about charity events, local celebrations, civic issues, big games, the new store or restaurant, people worth knowing — and more — through your posts.
• Guide local conversations as the host of your Patch.
• Reach your neighbors and fellow residents through daily newsletters and Facebook.
• Earn the recognition of your Patch community.

The ideal candidate is someone who is civic-minded and plugged into what people in town are saying and doing, likes to write, is active on social media and wants to share the stories of his or her neighborhood or town and steer community conversation.
