So many of the problems we face as a society…are worsened by loneliness and disconnection. Building a more connected world holds the key to solving these and many more of the personal and societal problems confronting us today.
— Vivek H. Murthy, MD, Former U.S. Surgeon General

About Us

Westborough Connects is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, founded in 2017 to build a more connected community. As a grassroots organization, Westborough Connects collaborates with community partners and organizations on programs and initiatives that connect people to each other, the resources they need and the community they live in. We have engaged diverse individuals and organizations throughout our town, schools & community. Westborough Connects fully recognizes the power of essential human connection to heal and strengthen our community. We approach this through our mission pillars of kindness, connection, resilience and inclusion. Read more about our mission and vision HERE.

Westborough Connects actively participates in several regional and national organizations to stay connected to emerging best practices and proven program models.

Through these memberships, we collaborate with others, learn from their successes, and identify innovative approaches that can be adapted to meet our community’s specific needs. We then bring those insights home—tailoring and implementing successful models locally to ensure our community benefits from strategies that have already demonstrated meaningful impact elsewhere.
