Corporate volunteering has become a popular way to support
RTR. Last year, 10 groups volunteered at RTR sites. At homes in
Norwell and Hanover, more than 20 employees from ImageTech,
a consulting and business technology company, spent the day
clearing out brush, leaves and weeds and creating an inviting
space. In Pembroke, employees from Twin Rivers Technologies,
a technology company based in Quincy, spent a day setting up
vegetable gardens, staining a deck and providing a much-needed
spring-time clean-up. The volunteers made the vegetable beds
high and wide enough for people in wheelchairs to have access.
It was such a hit that gardens are now house managers' number
one item on their request lists.
RTR is always looking for dedicated people to join their team.
They offer great benefits, as well as opportunities for educational
advancement. In addition to a generous tuition reimbursement
program, they have also created strategic relationships with
Southern New Hampshire University, Endicott College and
some local community colleges. If you or someone you know
is interested, you can find employment postings on RTR's
Facebook page and in the employment section of their website:
roadtoresponsibility.org.
Recently, RTR opened a new office in Norwell. This location
houses administrative offices and a day habilitation site, and
also offers space for staff trainings and community programs like
information sessions, meetings and educational forums. If you
are in the Longwater Drive area, look for RTR's sign. You are
always welcome to come in for a tour.
RTR offers care and services to special needs adults and is a
leader and advocate in our community. Congratulations, RTR,
on 30 years of celebrating the unique strengths of individuals,
supporting families and enriching lives.
