NRG Names FIRST® as Flagship Non-Profit Partnership

“Innovation and technology are central to NRG’s business and the
evolution of technology is what ensures that we maintain our competitive
advantage into the future,” said

this program is shaping not only the brilliant minds of these young

on the path to becoming exceptional adults,” said
