Helping Americans retire with clarity, dignity, and confidence.
Our Mission
To empower the most cherished members of our community with the knowledge, support, and resources they need to approach retirement with confidence — and to give back to the people and places we call home.
Why we exist
Retirement decisions are some of the most consequential — and most confusing — choices people face. We believe no one should have to navigate them alone. Our role is to inform, support, and serve our neighbors.
Our Vision
A future in which every person approaching retirement has access to honest, unbiased education and the support of a community that genuinely has their best interests at heart.
Our Commitment
Everything we do is rooted in service. We give our time, resources, and care to our neighbors and to the local organizations working alongside us — so our whole community can thrive.
Three commitments guide everything we do.
The U.S. Retirement Education Association is a nonprofit social-service organization dedicated to the financial well-being and dignity of the people we serve in communities across the country.
Advocate
We stand up for the interests of those approaching and enjoying retirement, championing transparency, fairness, and access in an industry that can be overwhelming to navigate.
Educate
We provide clear, unbiased information that demystifies the complex decisions surrounding health coverage, income, and long-term financial security.
Empower
Knowledge changes outcomes. We equip people with the confidence to make decisions that protect their future — on their own terms.
Giving back, in our community and beyond.
Beyond education, we invest our time and resources directly into the local organizations that care for our neighbors every day.
Community Partnerships
We collaborate with local senior centers, food banks, and community groups — donating our time, volunteers, and in-kind resources to support the neighbors who need them most.
Whether we're organizing a donation drive, lending a hand at a local event, or simply showing up for the people around us, we believe lasting change starts close to home — one community, and one neighbor, at a time.
Retirement & Financial Literacy
We create accessible educational resources that help our community members understand their options around health coverage, income, and planning for the years ahead.
We also host free educational workshops in communities near you — open to everyone and entirely educational.
