Acting Mayor Kim Janey announced the appointment of George Huynh to Dorchester neighborhood liaison. Huynh will work to encourage, facilitate and maximize citizen input and participation through service requests, neighborhood meetings, mailings, and emergency responses.

Huynh lives in Fields Corner where he was born and raised. At age nine, he found wonderful mentors from VietAID and Dorchester Youth Collaborative, where he learned to advocate for and support others. Huynh is a graduate of Boston Latin School and Yale College with a Bachelors of Arts in Political Science. He has taught in Boston Public Schools and worked in legal services, tapping into his ability to speak both Vietnamese and Spanish. Huynh formerly served as the Fields Corner liaison in ONS.

“I’d like to thank Mayor Janey for the opportunity to continue serving my hometown as well as Chief Miller and Director McGuire for their steadfast support,” said Huynh. “This past year, I’ve enjoyed hosting virtual meetings in multiple communities while hearing from and building relationships with our diverse residents. I welcome the challenge of engaging Boston’s largest neighborhood in my new capacity—it’s simply an honor.”

The Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services encourages, facilitates and maximizes citizen input and participation through service requests, neighborhood meetings, mailings, and emergency responses. To report non-emergency issues to the City, residents are encouraged to connect with BOS:311 by dialing 3-1-1 or by downloading the free BOS:311 app on iOS or Android platforms.
