United by Baseball

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

United by Baseball is a community-led baseball initiative operated by the Centro Venezolano Americano del Zulia (CEVAZ) in Venezuela, in proud partnership with the Roberto Clemente Foundation.

Through this partnership, CEVAZ runs and manages the program on the ground working directly with youth baseball academies, coaches, and community leaders while the Roberto Clemente Foundation proudly supports the initiative by providing the sports equipment that makes participation possible.

Together, we are united by a shared belief in the power of baseball to uplift, connect, and inspire.
