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.
