Anthony Nguyen

Mid-Dorchester Neighborhood

Anthony Nguyen is a proud lifelong Dorchester resident with a passion to serve the Mid-Dorchester community. Prior to joining the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services, Nguyen was the Director of SPARK Boston. He joined SPARK Boston in 2021 and held the position of captain, volunteering his time assisting with programming efforts. As the son of Vietnamese immigrants he understands the importance of community, cultural awareness, and advocacy for those who traditionally have lacked the opportunities to engage civically.

In taking up his role as the Mid-Dorchester liaison supporting Uphams Corner, Bowdoin/Geneva, Four Corners, and Codman Square areas, Nguyen is excited to deepen his service in the neighborhood he calls home. 

He received his Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Massachusetts Boston in Biology and Asian-American Studies. When Nguyen is not at City Hall or connecting with residents, he enjoys sports, traveling, volunteering with youth and local community efforts.
