Love Beverly/Mt. Greenwood/Morgan Park? Become Our Patch Mayor

CHICAGO, IL — Do you sometimes feel no one is tooting a horn for the neighborhoods on the far south end of the city? Would you like a platform to sing the praises of the police officers, firefighters, teachers and union workers who make the Beverly, Morgan Park and Mount Greenwood communities special? If you love these neighborhoods, sign up to become a Patch Mayor.

Here are 3 reasons why you should sign up:

  1. Use Patch and our Facebook and Twitter pages to spread the word about about charity events, local celebrations, civic issues, weather, high school sports, new restaurants or businesses and more.

  2. Spark and guide local conversations as the host of Beverly-Mt. Greenwood Patch about what's happening nearby — be it a lost pet or a controversial issue that requires the attention of Alderman O'Shea and other leaders in the 19th Ward.

  3. You'll be published on Patch, reaching thousands of your neighbors and people in and from Beverly, Mount Greenwood and Morgan Park.

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 neighborhood 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. To express interest, fill out our application form and a Patch editor will be in touch with more information.
