Community Engagement
We empower residents to engage with their local government and shape the City’s agenda.
Our cabinet leads the City of Boston’s work towards eliminating silos between Boston residents and City Hall. Our goal is to better connect neighborhood services, community engagement, and policy making. We want to improve how Boston includes community voices in its work. We plan to create a new model for prioritizing constituents and neighborhood services in government affairs.
Our cabinet is made up of
- the Office of Neighborhood Services
- the Office of Civic Organizing
- SPARK Boston, and
- Boston 311.
Our departments collaborate with City and community partners. By working together, we link policy, City services, and community engagement efforts across Boston.
