The Retirees' School Volunteer Association, RSVA was formed as a nonprofit organization by retired Raytheon engineers and technical staff to assist and enhance the education of K-12 New England public school students in response to requests from the schools.
Retirees are now involved in the education field in many communities in various roles, teaching, tutoring, planning, helping teachers and more.
Recent Raytheon and other retirees with math, science or technology backgrounds are needed to be Town Captains and school volunteers.
