Moms on a Mission
The Power to Make a Difference

Welcome to the Western Massachusetts Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc.!
It is my absolute joy to greet you on behalf of our mothers, children, and families who are committed to building strong bonds of friendship, service, and leadership across generations.
Chartered in 2016, the Western Massachusetts Chapter has been a vibrant part of the Eastern Region for almost a decade. Nestled in a region rich with history and legacy—from the abolitionist work of Sojourner Truth to the educational activism of W.E.B. Du Bois—our chapter proudly stands on the shoulders of those who made justice, education, and community uplift their life’s work.
Today, we continue that tradition by nurturing future African American leaders through outstanding programming, cultural enrichment, and civic engagement. Our chapter brings together families from Springfield, Longmeadow, Amherst, Worcester, and surrounding towns, united by a shared belief in the power of children, community, and connection.
We invite you to explore, engage, and celebrate with us. Whether you’re a longtime friend or a new visitor, we’re so glad you’re here.
Long Live Jack & Jill,
Eleanor P. Williams, Esq
Chapter President
