OUR VISION

Lifting the gaze of young people to realize a life beyond.


We believe every student and student-athlete deserves to see past their current circumstances and into a future filled with purpose, opportunity, and possibility. Our vision is to elevate that perspective — helping them dream bigger, lead boldly, and build lives of lasting impact.

Help support our vision

Our Mission

"To improve the chances of lifetime success for youth, University of Georgia students, and student-athletes by using our unique place in UGA athletic history, our networks, and our lived experiences to guide them toward meaningful careers and strong futures beyond college."

As the first Black football student-athletes at the University of Georgia, The Five stand as a living symbol of courage, progress, and transformation. Through our story, our platform, and our community, we mentor, support, and connect the next generation — ensuring they have the tools, relationships, and pathways needed to thrive long after the game ends.

Rooted in legacy.
Driven by service.
Committed to equity, mentorship, leadership development, and endowment-driven opportunity.
