About Buckhead Atlanta Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc.
Founded in 2005, the Buckhead Atlanta Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. represents a local expression of a national legacy that began in Philadelphia in 1938. This membership organization of mothers is built on the foundational belief that raising productive, happy children requires a village—a philosophy that continues to guide its work throughout Atlanta, Georgia. The chapter honors its chartering principle of creating a nurturing and protective community for children, maintaining this thriving continuum through intentional relationship-building and family connection. With 83 mothers and over 117 children as active members, the Buckhead chapter has become a vital community institution dedicated to nurturing future African-American leaders. The organization's philosophy centers on the understanding that excellent programming, combined with strong relationships, forms the heart of child development. By focusing on education, civics, health, science, culture, and recreation, the chapter creates diverse opportunities for growth while reinforcing civic responsibility and philanthropic values. The Buckhead Atlanta Chapter embodies the Maya Angelou principle that 'when you get, give; when you learn, teach,' translating this wisdom into concrete service projects and community partnerships. As part of the larger Jack and Jill of America network spanning 224 chapters across 36 states, the Atlanta chapter connects local families to a broader movement committed to developing spiritually connected, self-reliant young people who contribute meaningfully to their communities.
