PRESIDENT'S WELCOME

Welcome to the Greater Tampa Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated!

On behalf of our mothers and families, I warmly welcome you to our website and thank you for your interest

in learning about our chapter.

Jack and Jill of America, Inc. is a premier membership organization of mothers with children ages 2 to 19,

dedicated to cultivating future African American leaders through leadership development, community service,

philanthropic efforts, and civic engagement. Since its founding in 1938, this esteemed organization has grown

to represent over 40,000 family members nationwide.

We are proud to be the home of the 25th National President Joli Cooper, as well as the Southeastern Region's

Immediate Past Regional Treasurer. Following in the footsteps of these remarkable leaders, our mother members continue to pave the way by creating enriching, educational opportunities for our children. Through a focus on

leadership development, cultural awareness, legislative advocacy, and community service, we remain steadfast in

our mission to improve the lives of all children and nurture future servant leaders who will make a lasting impact

on the world.

It is my distinct honor to serve as the 15th President of this exceptional chapter. Together, we uphold the legacy of extraordinary women who have guided and shaped our chapter into the vital force it is today within the Tampa

Bay community.

Our website reflects the dedication, vision, and collaboration of our leadership team as we strive to set a standard of excellence. We are committed to providing meaningful experiences for our children, families, and community.

We invite you to explore our site, discover our mission, and learn how we work, play, and live together to create
