Our Values

Westborough Connects commits to the following beliefs and values, and uses them as a basis for our practice as an organization:

• Love of community is at the center of all our work.

• We are community based. We do this work together. We believe in the idea that to go “far together slowly,” is better than “quickly and alone”

• We take the broadest possible view of diversity (seeing the visible and invisible aspects of all) and aspire to be inclusive and accessible in all aspects of our work.

• We practice and promote intentional kindness.

• We believe in curiosity and humility.

• We are generous of spirit. We believe in forgiveness and the good in all people.

• We collaborate through conflict with respect, as it fosters connection and broadens our understanding of what is really important to each other.

• We strive to make meaningful, positive impacts on the whole community without expense to another. We understand impact is more important than intention. 

• We actively practice a growth mindset and believe in progress over perfection.

• We promote empathy for all and self-compassion for ourselves. 

• We are empowered by our neutral, impartial and apolitical stance. We take a stand, without taking political sides, for kindness, justice, and inclusion.
