Founded in 1987 by a group of dedicated African-American mothers in Newtown, PA, the Bucks County Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. emerged from a vision to provide cultural, social, and educational opportunities for local children. Building on the legacy of the national organization, which was established in 1938 in Philadelphia, the Bucks County Chapter has grown to serve as a supportive village that inspires, strengthens, and connects families throughout the region. The chapter's roots trace back to concerned mothers who recognized the need for structured programming that would guide their children toward graceful and successful adulthood. What began as a provisional group in 1987 was officially chartered as a full chapter in 1988, earning unanimous approval from the national delegation. Today, the Bucks County Chapter stands as a testament to the courage and fortitude of its founders, maintaining their vision while adapting to serve contemporary needs. The organization operates with a deep commitment to community connection, recognizing that meaningful development happens within a village context where multiple generations support one another. Members of the Bucks County Chapter understand that their work extends beyond individual child development to strengthen entire families and communities. With programming rooted in educational excellence, cultural enrichment, and service to others, the chapter continues the tradition established by founder Marion Stubbs Thomas. Serving Newtown and Bucks County for over thirty years, this organization remains dedicated to creating safe, enjoyable spaces where children thrive and families flourish together.
