Jack and Jill of America, Inc., has evolved into a strong national organization as a result of powerful programming. Founder, Marion Stubbs Thomas, had a simple idea of bringing together children in social and cultural relationships. The aims and ideals of Jack and Jill continue to strengthen, always with our children and civic service as the focal points.
Chapter Programming is the “heart of the organization.” It is the way that we “create a medium of contact for children that stimulates growth and development.” The national programming mandate for chapters requires that at least one activity (in each grade group) be accomplished centered on the National Program Thrusts under EDUCATION, CULTURAL, CIVIC, SOCIAL/RECREATIONAL, and HEALTH.
