LOCAL Closer Look: Westborough Connects - Massachusetts

Posted on Sunday, March 2, 2025 by Peter Kaye

Peter Kaye speaks with Kelley Petralia of Westborough Connects, a local grassroots nonprofit organization who collaborates with community partners and organizations on programs and initiatives that connect people with each other. Petralia points out the four pillars of the organization being kindness, inclusion, resilience, and connection. She explains how in some ways our connection through modern technology has us lacking in our personal connections as she discusses Westborough Unplugs, an annual event helping bring balance to digital versus in-person interactions. Petralia speaks to the dangers of social isolation and encourages connection through community and volunteerism.
