About Us

The Cool Neighborhood Association is a grassroots nonprofit in Waterville dedicated to improving community health by fostering personal connections among neighbors. Formed in response to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation, the Association creates opportunities for people to come together - through events, volunteer efforts, and shared initiatives - to build a stronger, more caring, and connected community.

Come Visit Us

Come visit us and see how connection builds community. At the Cool Neighborhood Association, we believe that real change starts with simple moments - a friendly conversation, a shared meal, or neighbors coming together to make a difference. When you visit, you’ll find opportunities to meet new people, join in local events, volunteer, and help create a stronger, healthier Waterville. Together, we’re proving that when neighbors connect, collaborate, and grow, everyone benefits.

Why the Cool Neighborhood Association Matters?

The Cool Neighborhood Association is more than a local group - it’s a movement to rebuild the social fabric of our community. In a time when loneliness and isolation are on the rise, we’re bringing people together through shared experiences, neighborhood projects, and genuine human connection. By fostering friendship, collaboration, and purpose, we’re helping Waterville become a place where everyone feels seen, supported, and part of something bigger.
