The
National Restoration Team (NRT) is a not-for-profit, community-based organization established to empower communities to enhance
the quality of life and support service members/veterans and their families (SMVF) through deployment cycles. To expand our
services, NRT's Board adopted the G.A.T.E.S. Concepts, LLC (doing business as G.A.T.E.S. Internal Empowerment) as an affiliate.
G.A.T.E.S. is an acronym for Getting Ahead of the Emerging Storm, the name of our Internal Empowerment Seminars.
