Jeff has been on the waitlist for 2 years, waiting for a Big Brother. Are you the type of individual who loves all kinds of sports like rock climbing and basketball? Do you love to joke around? Then you and Jeff would get along. And when asked if Jeff has three wishes, he said he would wish for more genies, to have endless wealth and be as strong as he can be smart guy!... It doesn’t take much to be a great mentor. You just have to show up and show that you care. If you think you would be a great Big Brother to Jeff, then we urge you to take the next step and apply to volunteer for BGCBigs! There are also hundreds of other kids just like Jeff.
