Love Urbandale? Volunteer To Be A 'Patch Mayor'

If you like to celebrate your hometown by promoting new businesses, recognizing local award winners and touting accomplishments in the community, consider volunteering as a Patch Mayor. You could play a leading role in civic life as a Patch Mayor by sharing information about your town's people, places and events.

The ideal candidate is a civic-minded, sociable resident who's plugged into what people in town are saying and doing, who likes to write and who wants to share the stories of his or her neighborhood or town and guide community conversation. A Patch Mayor is a trusted contributor who's curious about the people, places, events and news that make a place unique.
