Bloggers will primarily be San Mateo County youth and young adults, ages 13-21, although others can contribute as well. Bloggers can be individuals, members of an organization, or students that take on blogging as a class project.  

Bloggers can write about a wide variety of health-related issues important to youth – check out the yspacesmc.org website for some ideas. Blog entries should be well-researched, and you should check your facts. Remember, your words have power, so please be responsible. 

We have two types of bloggers: Blogger of the Month and Guest Blogger. 

Blogger of the Month: each month an individual or group takes responsibility for seeing that there are at least 2 blog entries each week for that month.  

Guest Blogger: if you have special interest or expertise in a specific topic, and would like to write a single blog entry, contact us and we will schedule you in between our Bloggers of the Month. 

This blog is also a space where people can discuss and comment on blogs, so be prepared for that if you decide to become a blogger. Be sure to read our policies for bloggers and for people making comments before contacting us.  If you are interested in writing a blog, go to the contact us page, tell us about yourself, and pitch your ideas. Someone from the Leadership Team will get back to you about the blog schedule.
