Finding Solutions

The benefits of Wellesley Neighbors go far beyond social connection. They’re about making everyday life easier, safer, and more manageable. Need a ride to a medical appointment, help setting up Zoom, or support navigating a tech issue? Our friendly and reliable volunteers are ready to assist. Looking for a trustworthy plumber, electrician, computer expert, or housekeeper? You’ll have access to a carefully curated list of local service providers, all vetted by fellow members and recommended based on real experiences. It’s like having a personal support team:  knowledgeable, dependable, and just a phone call or email away.

A Vibrant Social Network


Wellesley Neighbors helps create a vibrant social network through a wide variety of gatherings that bring members together in meaningful and enjoyable ways. From monthly men’s luncheons and women’s dinners to neighborhood cluster gatherings and concerts hosted in members’ homes, there are plenty of opportunities to connect. Wellness lectures and workshops, meetings at local libraries and community centers, and our popular annual spring and fall events offer even more ways to stay active and engaged. Members can also participate in subsidized fitness classes—another great way to stay healthy while enjoying time with neighbors.

Connection, Purpose, and Support

Wellesley Neighbors is more than just a membership, it’s a gateway to connection, purpose, and support. Our welcoming community offers countless ways to enrich your life, whether you’re hoping to stay active, meet new friends, or find reliable help when you need it most. Members build meaningful friendships, share food and conversation, and enjoy opportunities to explore arts, culture, history, theater, and music together. With access to trusted resources, engaging programs, and health and wellness activities, you can keep learning, growing, and staying active at every stage of life. Within your neighborhood cluster, you’ll feel at home while following your passions, giving and receiving support, and finding joy in the companionship of others.

Volunteering

Wellesley Neighbors is an active, member-led organization where everyone has an opportunity to contribute and make a difference. Members can get involved in a variety of meaningful ways, from serving on a committee and welcoming new members, to hosting or facilitating interest groups that bring people together. Many choose to support community outreach, develop programs, and plan engaging events. Others volunteer as drivers, help with member outreach, or lend their talents in administrative capacities. Creative members may enjoy taking photos at events or collaborating on the publication of our newsletter. No matter your interest or skill, there’s a way to participate and strengthen our vibrant community.
