Excerpt:
The City of Boston announced launch of the Urban Agriculture Ambassador Program (UAAP) for 2025-26, a new initiative by GrowBoston: Office of Urban Agriculture, a division of the Mayor’s Office of Housing. This program will provide hands-on gardening education and support to residents in East Boston, Mattapan, Roxbury, and Dorchester, building on the City’s ongoing efforts to support the increase of food production, especially in communities experiencing high rates of food insecurity.
Through a competitive grant process, GrowBoston has awarded $352,000 in federal funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to four local non-profits, each receiving $88,000 to employ part-time Urban Agriculture Ambassadors.
These educators will work directly in their neighborhoods to support residents in home gardening, community gardening, and sustainable food production. The selected organizations are Eastie Farm (East Boston), Urban Farming Institute (Mattapan), Haley House (Roxbury), and The Food Project (Dorchester).
“Education and food security are deeply connected,” said the Chief of Housing Sheila A. Dillon. “This program reflects our commitment to providing residents with the skills, tools, and knowledge they need to grow their own food and build healthier communities. By working with organizations embedded in these neighborhoods, we’re ensuring that this support is accessible, culturally relevant, and tailored to the unique needs of each community.”
