Active Citizens of Tufts (ACT) Boston unites alumni of Tufts undergraduate, graduate and professional schools through volunteer and public service opportunities to build and enhance our Greater Boston community. To do this, each year, ACT Boston dedicates itself to meeting a pressing community need. This year, we have focused our efforts on the important topic of nutrition health and wellness.
