President's Message
​
Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated was founded in 1938 by a group of dedicated women who desired to offer opportunities for their children to gracefully enter adulthood. In 1992, that vision inspired 24 dynamic mothers and community leaders to organize and charter the South Belt Houston Chapter. Since then, our chapter has been a pillar in our community, serving not only our children but all children. With nearly 100 active members and over 60 associates, we are dedicated to carrying out the mission and vision of our illustrious organization.
I am humbled to serve as the 14th president of the South Belt Houston Chapter. We are connected by our desire to raise the next generation of African American leaders while enhancing the lives of all children. We work to accomplish our mission through diverse programming focused on leadership development, cultural exposure, community service, legislative advocacy and philanthropic giving.
Thank you so much for visiting our website to learn more about Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated and the Sensational South Belt Houston Chapter. I hope will be enlightened or inspired by what we have shared.
