The UnCommon Cru, Inc. is a 501c3 organization dedicated to impacting the lives of boys ages 12-18 in our community, through intrusive mentoring and philanthropy. Founded in 2021, the organization was created because of the need that the founder, Ben Troupe, saw in his community, where many of the young men are of single parent impoverished households that had no father-figure present.
The UnCommon Cru is partnered with high schools and colleges in the communities that we serve, which include East Georgia State College and Swainsboro Middle School and Swainsboro High School with aims of matriculating the boys into college, entrepreneurship, military, or the workforce because we realize that failure is not failure until it is accepted but a tool to be used to propel them towards success.
