A Message from our Chapter President
Founded in June 1952, the Queens (New York) Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. was established under the guidance of Emilie Pickens, who also had the distinction of being the first Vice President of the national organization. Our chapter is one of 252 chapters of Jack and Jill of America that is comprised of 40,000 families and we are a part of the Mighty Eastern Region.
We have a rich and distinguished history as an organization of over 50 mothers whose objective is to impart constructive educational, civic, cultural, recreational, and social programming to stimulate growth and development in our African-American children. We strive to nurture future leaders through outstanding chapter programming, community service, legislative advocacy, and philanthropic giving.
