Our 8-week USG Academy is a fully remote program that consists of virtual weekly prayer time and check-ins. The Impact Weekend at the end of the Academy will require you to travel. All travel and weekend expenses are covered by the $100 payment.

Your daily requirement will be to read a chapter in The Purpose Driven Life and answer devotional questions. These take around 30 minutes each day. Weekly assignments include a 30-45 minute call with your USG Coach, a strengths assessment, writing your testimony, a professional informational interview, completing a resume, and participating in a discussion board.

We focus primarily on college students and young professionals that range between 18 and 30 years old. If you are older and want to be involved, please reach out! We have ambassador roles for those that are more established in their career.

We want to make sure that each of our members posses the basic tools and understanding to live out their faith in the sport industry. By completing the Academy you will be prepared to connect your faith with your professional and personal life.

As a member of USG, you will have access to our growing list of resources. This includes: - Our USG Connect App (similar to a Facebook or Linkedin specifically for Christian sport industry professionals) - Fully-funded international and domestic missions trips - Fully-funded conferences & events - Book/Bible studies - Professional development resources (resume reviews, mock interviews, informational interviews, etc.) Check out our membership page here!

Once you are a member there are no fees or requirements to keep your membership status year to year. To best serve you and our network we would encourage continued participation and involvement. When offering our fully-funded resources, we look to offer these resources to members that are still working or desire to work in the sport industry, as well!

Clean Out For A Cause (COFAC) is the primary funding source for USG. Hundreds of college and professional sport teams donate their used and excess gear to our warehouse. We then process these donations and sell them on our ecommerce store, Authentic Athletic Apparel. 100% of the profits are then used for our ministry.

There is only one key difference between Managers On A Mission and USG! We previously made our mission trips the way of passage for becoming a member. However, USG's format for becoming a member is our USG Academy. Why? We realized that not everyone can complete a 2-4 week mission trip and we wanted to make sure more young sport industry professionals had access to our opportunities and resources.
