SOCIAL JUSTICE IS OUR RESPONSE TO THE CLIMATE DISASTER.

Founded in the wake of Superstorm Sandy by the Red Hook community, RETI Center partners with local youth and historically marginalized residents to transform our coastal city. We are committed to hands-on education and believe that innovative ideas, bold projects, and collaborative learning empower us all to adapt and thrive. Our mission is to cultivate the practical skills needed to restore both our built and natural environments. Together, we can create a brighter future.
