About Jack & Jill of America, Inc. South Belt Houston Chapter
The South Belt Houston Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. represents a legacy of community dedication rooted in the vision of Josephine Turner and fellow mothers in the late 1980s. What began as the Concerned Parents of Sage Glen evolved into an officially chartered chapter on October 24, 1992, fulfilling a shared desire among African-American families in southeast Houston to provide their children with cultural awareness and refined opportunities for personal growth. Today, the chapter comprises 170 mothers and associates serving children throughout the Houston metropolitan area, particularly in Pearland, Manvel, and surrounding communities. The South Belt Houston Chapter remains deeply connected to its founding mission of giving tirelessly to serve the community while building character and cultural competence in the next generation. Beyond direct youth programming, the organization actively supports numerous community organizations including the March of Dimes, United Negro College Fund, Star of Hope, and many others working to improve lives in the Houston area. Members build lifelong friendships and create a rich village of mutual support and encouragement that extends far beyond individual families. With 30 years of service to southeast Houston, the chapter continues to honor its charter members' commitment to excellence while remaining focused on providing children with the advantages all families deserve for their own.
