Please Welcome Michelle McLean To The UP Local Voices Section

Have you taken a look at the University Place Patch Local Voices section lately?

Over the last few weeks we've featured some of our new and most dedicated bloggers. This week we'd like to highlight Michelle McLean who began blogging on UP Patch in January.

As the Co-Founder and Director of Peace Out, a UP-based organization that empowers teen philanthropists, McLean began blogging about the program in her first post, Peace Out is GROWING!!!.

Since then she's highlighted volunteers both young and young at heart and the work they do in the community.

We look forward to hearing more about the work Peace Out students are doing in the community, and watching the program grow.

Want to blog on Patch, too?

University Place Patch is looking for bloggers who’d like to share their local knowledge, personal expertise, political opinions, or hobbies. We want bloggers who can have readers walk away feeling challenged, inspired, happy, sad or further educated on a particular subject. Photo and video blogs are also encouraged!

Keep in mind that this is not a reporting gig. There’s no need to be a published author or someone who needs to be told what to write about. We want you to write about what you want and when you want.

Blogging on Patch is just one more way you can get involved with your community and spark important discussion.

So, start a blog on University Place Patch today! Have questions about blogging? Email Community Editor Jenny Manning at jenny.manning@patch.com.
