Educators Making a Difference: From Classroom to Community

The National Retired Teachers Association (NRTA) was founded by Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus to address the needs of retired educators. Her passion for education and service led to the creation of AARP, transforming the lives of older Americans and laying the foundation for AARP's mission. This legacy continues to inspire many of our dedicated volunteers, who are former or current educators bringing their passion for making a difference to new challenges and opportunities. Whether it's advocating for issues affecting older adults, supporting community initiatives, or simply lending a helping hand, your skills and experience are invaluable.
