State and local retired educators association volunteer leaders use the resources provided by NRTA to organize local self-sustaining direct service projects for and with youth. The program provides five key resources for youth: an on-going relationship with a caring adult; a healthy start in life; safe places to learn and grow; a marketable skill upon graduation; and, an opportunity to serve in their communities.
