Robert Griffin III's NFL season may be over, but the Washington Redskins quarterback is seeking to change lives off of the field with his new foundation.

Griffin, the 24-year-old Christian QB, decided to start the new year with his wife Rebecca Griffin by debuting a new website for their Family of 3 organization. The Family of 3 organization website offers people a way to "become a member of the family and make a difference," and the Griffins described ways to do just that in a statement to The Christian Post.

"As we begin a New Year, we are filled with excitement as our mission to make a lasting, positive impact on the world is finally underway with the release of our new foundation website familyof3.org," the Griffins said in a statement. "When you visit the website, you will find that there are many ways that you can become a member of the Family, and make a difference. You can do this through getting official Family of 3 wristbands, bidding on one of our unique auction items, placing a flat donation, and/or by just spreading the word as far as you can via social media."

Griffin is calling for people to help his non-profit organization in any way they can, explaining some of the initiatives that will be taking place in Family of 3.

"Our Family dreams big in all aspects of life, and this foundation is no different. We will be working together with Boys & Girls Clubs, the Bob Woodruff Foundation, and many other charitable organizations," the Griffins said in their statement. "However, there are countless others who don't have access to these resources and we want to be able to reach and help them as well. By providing direct support, access to networking, and education on the issues that they are facing, we hope to help current and future generations, from all walks of life achieve sustained success."

On the organization's website, Robert, known to many football fans as RGIII, explained his excitement for making a difference in people's lives with his organization.

"With this foundation, I want people to understand that their dreams aren't out of reach, and that anything is possible. As a collective Family, we will strive to create meaningful networks for people in our everyday lives by providing them with access to the tools and resources necessary to reach their fullest potential," Griffin wrote on his website. "Most importantly, we want to provide hope, support and opportunity to all and be that extra push people need in order to realize and catch their dreams."
