Jack and Jill of America, Inc. National History
Jack and Jill of America, Inc. is a national organization founded on January 24, 1938, by the late Marion Stubbs Thomas and
20 mothers who came together to form an organization whose mission was to provide social, cultural, and educational opportunities for youth between the ages of 2 and 19. With more than 247 established chapters organized in seven regions across the United States, the national organization now consists of more than 40,000 member families.
