OUR STORY
From Classroom Concept to Global Impact: How a Rwanda Mission Trip Inspired a Visionary Organization
Created by former student managers, our organization began as a class project following our founder, Drew Boe’s first-ever mission trip to Rwanda in 2012.
Throughout his time as a graduate student at Virginia Tech, Drew began discussing and developing the framework with his graduate professors and mentors in the sport industry.
During his three weeks in Rwanda, Drew experienced the transformative power of a mission trip, inspiring the motto "Development through Service." With this vision in mind, Managers on a Mission was born. Over the next ten years, Drew grew the scope and reach of his ministry, providing funded mission trips for more than one hundred participants of twenty-four mission trips.
In 2020, the organization was called to expand its support to the entire body of believers within sports. Managers on a Mission became Uncommon Sports Group [in-text link here to rebrand page]. This led to the establishment of the USG Academy and the creation of USG's Community Bible Studies. Uncommon Sports Group now seeks to connect, activate, and grow the body of believers working in college and professional sports.

Transforming Tomorrow's Sports Industry: Investing in Future Leaders Through Unique Mission Trips and Scholarships
Since our inception, our ministry has invested over hundreds and thousands of dollars into the development of student managers and other future leaders of the sport industry.
This funding has come from hundreds and thousands of pounds from sports apparel and equipment donated through our Clean Out For A Cause® program.
From this funding, we've seen hundreds of students participate in our international mission trips or domestic impact weekends. We have also been able to award more than 75 scholarships to students through our "Read and Reflect" scholarship program.
