WHO WE ARE
Jack and Jill of America, Inc. was founded January 24, 1938 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from a meeting of 20 mothers by the leadership of Marion Stubbs Thomas with the idea of bringing together children in a social and cultural environment. In 1964, as more groups became active, bylaws were drawn up and incorporated under the laws of Delaware. We are a non profit organization by mothers of children between the ages of 2 and 19 holding membership.
Our Goals
The goals serve as our constant guides. They are as follows:
