OUR STORY<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

A Stronger Tomorrow Starts with Belief in Today.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Victor Green Foundation\u2019s work began in 1995 in Victor Green\u2019s hometown of Americus, Georgia, in partnership with Professional Partners for Youth Development. From the beginning, the goal was clear: help young people recognize the opportunities within their reach and give them the guidance and support to pursue them.<\/p>

Today, the Foundation\u2019s reach includes Atlanta and communities beyond. Our staff, mentors, and volunteers use their time and talents to help youth build confidence, leadership, healthy habits, and a positive image that can shape their future.<\/p>

Our programs are designed around educational, cultural, economic, recreational, social, and spiritual development\u2014reducing negative influences while amplifying the positive forces that help young people thrive.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A Leader On and Off the Field.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Victor Green is a retired 12-year NFL veteran whose leadership, discipline, and commitment to excellence continue to drive the mission of the Victor Green Foundation.

IMAGE IS EVERYTHING.<\/strong> The Foundation uses that message to encourage confidence, accountability, character, and a mindset focused on possibility.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
