NATIONAL HISTORY

MISSION
Jack and Jill of America, Inc., is a membership organization of mothers with children ages 2 – 19, dedicated to nurturing future African American leaders by strengthening children through leadership development, volunteer service, philanthropic giving and civic duty.

The late Marion Stubbs Thomas founded Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated on January 24, 1938 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Twenty mothers came together to discuss creating an organization to provide social, cultural and educational opportunities for youth between the ages of two and nineteen.  In 1946, ten chapters were involved in the national restructuring process.  Constitution and bylaws were drawn up and the organization was incorporated under laws of the State of Delaware.   

Today, Jack and Jill boast over 230 chapters nationwide, representing over 40,000 family members. Each chapter plans annual programming activities guided under a national theme.  Through service projects, Jack and Jill of America create a medium of contact for children to stimulate their growth and development.

"To us as mothers, it [Jack and Jill] has become a means of furthering an inherent and natural desire...to bestow upon our children all the opportunities possible for a normal and graceful approach to a beautiful adulthood."  Marion Stubbs Thomas
