Donte Peeples is the new Mattapan liaison for Mayor Kim Janey’s office. Roudnie Célestin, who served as the liaison to Mattapan and the Haitian community for Mayor Walsh, will now focus exclusively on the Haitian community at the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services (ONS).
In a statement, Janey said Peeples “brings a passion for civic engagement that is so necessary in being a successful neighborhood liaison.”
Peeples says he discovered his passion for service while attending the St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church after-school and summer camp programs. He was later employed as a mentor and worked to provide safe and fun activities for the city’s youth.
