Plans for Coverage of School Sports

The Acton Exchange Team recognizes that coverage of sports, especially school and youth sports, is a staple of community news, and our vision going forward includes robust coverage of this important aspect of our community.

If you would like to be part of this exciting new phase of the Acton Exchange’s growth, please email info@actonexchange.org, specifying what volunteer role you could see yourself playing.
