Programming is the heartbeat of our organization. Jack and Jill of America, Inc. has evolved into a strong national institution as a result of strong National and Chapter programming in the areas of cultural awareness, educational development (including STEM and financial literacy), health, civic engagement, socialization, and recreation.

Queens Chapter seeks to leverage our resources, relationships, and community partnerships to create programming not easily accessible outside of our organization. Our activities are tailored to meet the needs of children according to their age groups and in consideration of the needs of each individual child. Our Chapter-wide programs create meaningful cultural and educational experiences for the whole family.

“Programming at its best encourages our children to stretch, to experience the new. It creates and reinforces bonds between our children, and us. It strengthens our community.” – Rana Martin-Henderson, Program Director.
