JACK AND JILL

St. Louis, Missouri Chapter

Creating self-sufficient and active leaders both in our community and beyond

Welcome to the St. Louis, Missouri Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc.

Jack and Jill was founded in 1938 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by Marion Stubbs Thomas.

We are an organization of dedicated African-American mothers focusing on exposing our children to civic, cultural, educational, health, legislative, recreational and social experiences so they become both self-sufficient and active leaders both in our community and beyond.

Welcome to the Sensational 5-Star St. Louis Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc.

We are a dynamic organization of dedicated African-American mothers committed to preparing our children to lead with confidence, purpose, and excellence. Through intentional exposure to civic, cultural, educational, health, legislative, recreational, and social experiences, we are shaping the next generation to be both self-sufficient and impactful within our community and beyond.

It is my honor and absolute joy to welcome you to our online home. The St. Louis Chapter stands firmly on a legacy of excellence, and we continue to build on that foundation with vision, collaboration, and action. Simply put—Let’s Do This!

Since our chartering in 1947, our chapter has been a beacon within the Mid-Western Region, proudly led by Regional Director Kassandra Hayes. Our influence extends far beyond St. Louis, with members who serve and lead at regional and national levels, helping to shape the future of Jack and Jill of America, Inc.

Our work is intentional and impactful. From innovative youth programming that develops confident leaders and future changemakers, to meaningful service initiatives, advocacy efforts, and community partnerships, everything we do is rooted in purpose and driven by love for our families and our community.

We are proud of the experiences we create for our mothers, children, fathers, and the community. These are experiences that inspire growth, foster connection, and elevate excellence. Around here, when something is done with distinction, collaboration, and style, we simply say, “That’s So St. Louis.”

As you explore our website, we hope you feel the energy, pride, and commitment that define who we are. We are not just continuing a legacy, we are actively building the future. And we’re doing it together with excellence.

Let’s do this!
