Jack and Jill of America, Inc., is the oldest and largest African American family organization in the United States. Since its inception in 1938 in Philadelphia with only 20 mothers, the organization has grown to over 220 chapters in 35 states and the District of Columbia, representing over 30,000 family members. The core of the Jack and Jill of America philosophy is that every child – if given the proper guidance and opportunity – can be developed into a leader. Over the last 62 years, the Raleigh-Wake Chapter has maintained that same philosophy and has become an integral part of the Wake County community. In keeping with our national theme to achieve excellence, inspire greatness and motivate youth to lead and serve, our dedicated mothers will continue to provide valuable education, legislative, financial, cultural, recreational, social and civic leadership programs for children.
