Overview

Join Belmont’s most exciting new venture!

Less than two years ago, a small group of concerned citizens decided to start a hyper-local, nonprofit newspaper. In a short time, the group organized, recruited dedicated leaders and ultimately raised over $500,000 from over 400 people/members to start The Belmont Voice. Since January of 2024, we have been delivering a free, weekly print paper to every household in Belmont!

Help us take the next step.

We are looking for an inquisitive and thoughtful Part-time Reporter to help expand and deepen our coverage of the Belmont community.

  • Ability to cover a wide range of issues
