Jerry Zhou, Strategic Organizer
Jerry Zhou is the Co-Founder of the Urbanism Club at BU and a resident of Brighton. As a student at Boston University, he founded the Urbanism Club at BU to encourage younger and often less heard voices to advocate for safer, more livable communities.
Outside of BU, Jerry was an Intern and Volunteer at TransitMatters. He also worked at the BU Cycle Kitchen, helping students, faculty, and staff learn how to fix their own bikes. Currently, he staffs a DIY Bike Workshop at the Brighton Farmer’s Market and finds joy in connecting with his community over bikes.
