The waitlist is sooooo long. I know a couple of kids in Worcester who have been waiting for over a year. There’s a lot of need for big brothers - and it’s a perfect volunteering opportunity for college students. Play basketball, video games, help with math homework…there are kids in Worcester who don’t have older siblings or parents with spare time to do these things with them. I was a big sister in Boston, sometimes I spent a little money on a treat or special outing, but mostly all you have to give is your time and attention. It really does mean is everything to them.
