Jeysaun Gant has been appointed neighborhood liaison for Roxbury. He will serve as the primary contact for constituents and businesses looking to connect with the Mayor’s Office and will facilitate the delivery of services in collaboration with city departments. Gant started his role in the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services in February.
Gant was born and raised in Boston. He got his start in public service during his sophomore year at the Community Academy of Science and Health as a community organizer for I Have A Future.
