Help Us Keep Port Chester Informed: Become A Patch Mayor

PORT CHESTER, NY — There's a new way to get involved in Port Chester — the Patch Mayor program.

The new volunteer program gives residents who love their communities a platform to share their insight and expertise on local happenings. Patch's reporters will continue to cover the neighborhood' big news, but will work alongside Mayors to give residents more of a voice on our sites.

Interested? Here's three reasons why should you sign up?

1. Use Patch and our social media pages to spread the word about charity events, local celebrations, civic issues, weather, new restaurants or businesses, and more
2. Spark and guide local conversations as the host of your Patch about what's happening nearby — be it a beloved local business that's closing, an important issue in front of the community board, or about public education in New York City
3. You'll be published on Patch, reaching thousands of your neighbors and the rest of New York City.

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

If you've ever wanted to write a blog about your neighborhood, this could be your opportunity to do so — with the full support of our editorial team, a state-of-the-art publishing platform, and access to thousands of newsletter subscribers and Facebook fans.
