The Tucson Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated is an organization of mothers dedicated to developing the full potential of our own African-American children, and also to serving children and families in the broader community. In following our national incentives we provide a variety of constructive programs – to include educational; cultural; civic and service; financial literacy; leadership development; recreational; and social. In doing so, we empower children and enable them to contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Our Chapter strives to create civic-minded leaders who celebrate the fullness of their heritage; take purposeful action; optimize their talents; and advocate for themselves and others. We joyfully collaborate with other chapters and other organizations to “be the change” we wish to see. We believe that through our service and through our children, we can make a positive difference in our world.
TYP Connects are our monthly socials designed to gather, explore, connect, and enjoy our TYP community.
Our February TYP Connects also serves as the Friday Night Community Mixer and official kickoff to ignite520. Start the weekend with an evening focused on connection and creativity, hosted in partnership with Blk House Market, and sponsored by Community Investment Corporation.
As we kick off a weekend centered on leadership and resilience, this partnership reflects ignite520’s commitment to elevating diverse voices and community-driven creativity. Taking place during Black History Month, the collaboration with Blk House Mrkt aligns with a shared focus on building connection, commerce, and community — intentionally centering Black creatives and entrepreneurs who contribute to Tucson’s cultural and economic resilience.
Enjoy a pop-up market featuring local Black creatives, live music, and live art by local artist Tae, all within a curated space to connect with fellow ignite520 attendees and TYP members ahead of Saturday’s full leadership experience. The evening will also include a raffle benefiting Ubuntu Academies, blending creativity, connection, and community impact to spark relationships and inspiration before a full day of learning and growth.
