About

The Jeffries Point Neighborhood Association represents residents in the greater Jeffries Point area of East Boston by providing a forum for civic engagement. Our membership is open to all community members who live in our jurisdiction.

We welcome a wide array of groups and individuals to our meetings to interact directly with community members. These include developers, city and state elected officials, public safety officials, Massport representatives, local businesses, community organizations, and residents.

Our aim is to identify and address community concerns, foster civic engagement, and interact directly with our elected officials and community leaders, all while building working relationships within our one-of-a-kind, diverse neighborhood.

New members are encouraged to attend our next monthly meeting.
