Galveston Retired Teachers Association (GRTA) is affiliated with the Texas Retired Teachers Association (TRTA).  Active membership in TRTA is open to any retired public-school employee or anyone who supports public education employees. TRTA is the only statewide organization in Texas that works exclusively for retired public school and higher education personnel at the legislative level to maintain or improve benefits to all retirees. TRTA is the largest organization of its kind in the United States.

 

Membership in GRTA is open to anyone who would like to join.

 

GRTA offers numerous opportunities for volunteer service and fellowship. We usually meet monthly from August through May. Meetings include speakers, games, entertainment, informative programs and health tips, legislative updates, etc. Projects include our selected “adopt-a-school”, Central Middle School, children's book project, Food Drives, and volunteering, to name a few.

 

Members can be as involved as much as they have the time and inclination to be! Please consider joining us to meet up with old friends and make new ones!
