About James River Virginia Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc.
The James River chapter is a group of dynamic women who are focused on serving our community, training the next generation of servant leaders, and supporting one another through this journey called Motherhood.
The mothers of the James River Chapter are working to EDUCATE children on the many contributions of Africans and African Americans. By understanding the breadth and depth of our collective history, which begins well before slavery with highly civilized and organized African kingdoms to our modern Civil Rights movement, which continues to this moment, this new generation of young leaders will have a renewed since of pride in the accomplishments of the African diaspora, and will walk with a new purpose.
The James River Virginia Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. was chartered in 2005 with 17 mothers and 23 children. The group was excited about serving a more focused and community-minded purpose. Membership included a diverse group of mothers who were visionaries, role models, servant leaders and community builders. In the last ten years we have nearly doubled in membership and continue to achieve high levels of success in programming activities and community service.
The chapter’s vision and purpose continues to be driven by a shared passion to create opportunities to positively impact the lives of others in the Metro Richmond community, especially children.
