Once I become a member, is there anything I have to do to keep up my membership status? Do I ever have to renew my membership?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!

What is Clean Out For A Cause?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.
-
Is there a difference between Managers On A Mission and USG?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.
