Our Board, staff and regular volunteers are made up of people who are committed to the vitality of our neighborhood. Some people grew up and have remained in Dorchester, others have returned to the neighborhood to reinvest, while some have chosen to relocate here from other parts of the country. We all value being fully present and part of the community.
