Real Stories. Real Impact.
“Many adults with Autism don’t get the chance to work and be independent. RTR has given me that opportunity, along with the support and encouragement to succeed. My life is much better because of RTR.”
— Jack Brait, RTR Employee
“Watching my son grow and thrive through RTR inspired me to give back. Volunteering at the Ocean Village Bookstore has been the perfect fit. 17 years later, I still look forward to every Wednesday.”
— Cathy McCarthy, RTR Parent & Volunteer
