WHO FOUNDED THE BIG BROTHER PROJECT?
Jaylen Milton-Cofield
Founder of The Big Brother Project
"The leading cause of death for black men my age is murder. 80% of suicides are men. Black male students have the lowest graduation rates. The list of problems continues. Many men need help but don't know how to find it. I want to provide the help these young men need and make it easily accessible!"
- Jaylen
