The Rugby Foundation, From the Barrio Foundation, Announce International

Alliance and Partnership

Los Angeles, CA, October 20, 2020 --(PR.com)-- The Rugby Foundation and From the Barrio
Foundation are advancing their shared vision to empower young people and adults. The two organizations
launched a global engagement model designed to support education, adaptive sports, health and
community engagement their publicist announced today.

Phil Klevorick, CEO of The Rugby Foundation, and Dr. Robert Renteria, Chairman of From the Barrio
Foundation have more than 40 years of combined experience in serving youth, communities and
countries.

With the partnership, the organizations are positioned to expand their national and international outreach,
as well as increase the delivery of services and education.

"I'm passionate about using rugby, ethos, and the sport as a conduit for learning outside of the classroom,"
Klevorick stated. "There is a massive need for leadership, mentorship, mental health options and
direction. Our program is a powerful way to identify the underlying issues in an individual's life and offer
solutions, while also helping better communities,” he concluded.

Dr. Robert Renteria said this of the collaboration. "We partnered to fight for our kids, lift and build
communities, states, and countries. Lives are changing for the better in real time. We are here to interrupt
'the now issues' that affect the entire world. That includes bullying, gangs, violence, drugs, suicide and
school dropouts."

The alliance represents no-cost, mentorship, activities, tools and resources. All are designed to positively
impact youth and young adults in innovative and sustainable ways. They include:

- Community programs which support co-ed youth education and leadership development
- Women-focused development through training and mentorship
- Adaptive sport initiatives
- "From the Barrio" mentorship books and curriculum which resonates with the youth and adults

“From the Barrio and The Rugby Foundations use their enthusiasm and expertise to strengthen and
inspire youth, young adults and their families," stated Fran Briggs, publicist to the organizations. "The
international collaboration is designed to make the program accessible to all participants regardless of
age, race, religion, gender, culture or country. That's noteworthy; particularly during this time of
challenge."

families around the globe. Individuals and organizations with interest in supporting the delivery of the
program's tools are invited to share their ideas. For more information, visit
