Collaboration honors Roberto Clemente’s enduring commitment to service by helping prepare students for success in school, work, and life

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Roberto Clemente Foundation and Everfi today announced a new partnership focused on expanding opportunity for students across Puerto Rico through financial education, community support, and pathways to future success. The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to helping young people develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to thrive in school, work, and life.

Rooted in a shared belief that every young person deserves the chance to reach their full potential, the partnership brings together the Foundation’s commitment to carrying forward Roberto Clemente’s legacy with Everfi’s experience helping learners build critical financial and life skills. Together, the organizations will work to connect education with access to opportunities, including scholarships and investment accounts (530A Trump Accounts, 529 education savings plans). The effort reflects Everfi’s Learn. Earn. Build. approach, helping students develop knowledge and skills, earn recognition and opportunities, and build toward a stronger financial future.

For generations, Roberto Clemente has stood as a symbol of excellence and service. While celebrated as one of baseball’s greatest players, his impact extended far beyond the ball field through his dedication to helping others and strengthening communities. Nearly 30 schools across the United States are named after Roberto Clemente, reflecting the enduring connection between his legacy and the education of future generations. Today, that legacy continues through efforts that empower young people to pursue their goals, contribute to their communities, and build brighter futures for themselves and their families.

“Roberto believed that success meant creating brighter futures for others,” said Luis Clemente, co-chair, Roberto Clemente Foundation.

“This partnership reflects that belief and our commitment to investing in the next generation. Together with Everfi, we hope to help more young people discover what’s possible for their future and give them the support they need to pursue it,” added Roberto Clemente, Jr., co-chair, Roberto Clemente Foundation.

Through the partnership, students across Puerto Rico will gain access to financial educational and other learning experiences designed to help them learn critical financial and life skills, earn recognition and scholarship opportunities, and ultimately build the pathways necessary for continued education and future career success.

Everfi has partnered with educators and school leaders across Puerto Rico since 2018, providing educator training, curriculum support, and engaging learning experiences that help prepare students for important life decisions.

“What excites me about this partnership is helping more students see a path from what they learn today to what they can achieve tomorrow,” said Ray Martinez, CEO, Everfi. “The Roberto Clemente Foundation shares our belief that education can open doors, strengthen communities, and create opportunities that last for generations.”

The partnership between the Foundation and Everfi establishes a long-term commitment to expanding access, celebrating achievement, and creating new opportunities for young people across Puerto Rico. Looking ahead, the organizations aim to bring together educators, community leaders, nonprofit organizations, philanthropic partners, and private-sector supporters around a common goal: helping more students connect learning to opportunity and opportunity to a stronger future.
