Academic Excellence
Education is the key to our children’s futures. Through Jack and Jill, we support and encourage children to excel in rigorous study for preparation in their future.
STE[A]M
Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math
Jack and Jill Inc has a special initiative to focus in these areas of study. As our world becomes more global, STE[A] Promgrams are critical. Children are exposed at an early age in programming that involves this area.
Leadership
The Jacqueline Moore Bowles Leadership Module is comprised of 16 modules providing the necessary skills required to effectively lead in a constantly changing society.
Finance
It is important that youth learn fiscal responsibility at an early age. Jack and Jill’s financial literacy modules offer youth ages 6-19 an opportunity to participate in mock stock market simulations, basic financial training and real world approaches in learning the principles of responsible money management first-hand.
Community Service
Annually, Jack and Jill members and their families log thousands of hours of volunteer service. Both members and children support and participate in efforts such as annual walks, marathons, beautification projects, youth mentoring and other initiatives focused on making a difference in the communities they serve.
Healthy Living
Jack and Jill has a special initiative to focus on the health crisis issues facing African American Families. We aspire to build awareness, one family at a time, by addressing nutrition, excercise and mental health awareness among our families and throughout our community.
Legislation
Since our inception, we have been committed to legislation aimed at bettering the lives of all children. Past and president legislative advocacy focus have been on violence in the media, health and wellness initiatives, voter registration, responsible gun laws, and equal access to quality education. Biennially, Jack and Jill teens and mothers participate in the On the Hill Summit in Washington, DC, creating awareness among Congressional leaders about our mission and issues that affect American children and their families
Sisterhood
We represent over 40,000 family members, and over 10,000 mother members who serve their communities in over 35 states. We work in a variety of capacities to include stay at home mothers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, ministers and leaders of industry with the belief that we can make a difference in lives of children and families. We serve to make a change, actively engaging with our national and local partners.
