About the Clemente Community Challenge

The Clemente Community Challenge is a free program and competition for students in grades 6-8.

The Clemente Community Challenge is sponsored by the National Registry of Unclaimed Retirement Benefits in partnership with the Roberto Clemente Foundation and the Youth Cinema Project.
