Who We Are

Our Vision

Our vision is to become the most effective and most emulated neighborhood association in Boston's South End neighborhood.

Our Mission

WSANA’s mission is to provide a forum for the discussion of issues that impact the neighborhood—safety, development, cleanliness—and to amplify the voices of its residents with the city government, police, developers, restaurants, business owners, and social and health service providers. Whether you own or rent, work or play here, you are welcome to attend our meetings.
