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 website of the St. Louis Chapter of Jack and Jill America, Inc.

We are thrilled to introduce you to our distinguished chapter, where excellence and commitment converge to create a nurturing environment for our youth and families. As a proud 5-Star Chapter of Excellence, we celebrate the dedication and passion of our members who embody the values and vision of Jack and Jill America, Inc.

The St. Louis Chapter has deep roots in the national organization, having being chartered in 1947. Our chapter has many leaders that serve within the Mid-Western Region that is led by our Regional Director, Cynthia Miree-Coppin.

We are proud of our award-winning programming for mother members, children, and fathers. Our innovative leadership development program is impactful for our youth as they emerge into our future power brokers and change agents. Serving our community through works, donations, and advocacy is what we do. “That’s So St. Louis!”
