Rooted in Norfolk, Virginia's history since 1948, the Norfolk Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. represents a transformative vision created by visionary mothers in the Hampton Roads area. This unique organization operates from the belief that today's youth deserve more than academic preparation—they need spiritual grounding, cultural awareness, and a sense of extended family belonging. The Norfolk Chapter serves as a nurturing community where children from pre-school through high school discover lifelong friendships and develop values that strengthen their families and communities. What sets this mother-led organization apart is its holistic approach to youth development, integrating social enrichment, cultural education, and spiritual renewal into every activity. Members don't simply participate in programs; they join a legacy of empowerment and service that has shaped generations of young leaders. The organization recognizes that youth development thrives when children feel part of something larger than themselves, and it deliberately fosters this sense of community through grade-appropriate activities and mentorship. Based in Norfolk, VA, the chapter remains committed to its founding mission of ensuring that every child has access to the resources, relationships, and experiences needed to navigate life with confidence, purpose, and strong family values.
Based in Norfolk, VA, Blacks In Technology is a non-profit foundation dedicated to addressing systemic underrepresentation of Black workers in the technology industry. For over a decade, the organization has worked to "stomp the divide" between Black tech workers and the broader tech community by fundamentally influencing change in an industry that has historically lacked parity. The foundation recognizes that Black professionals often find themselves as the only Black person in their team or organization, a challenge that extends from startup founders seeking venture capital to core IT workers pursuing pay equity. Blacks In Technology Virginia's approach centers on leveling the playing field through four key pillars: training, education, networking, and mentorship. The organization operates with a commitment to trust and transparency, with leadership comprised of directors who bring lifelong careers in technology and education. Members gain access to career support, professional networking events, technical resources, and mentorship opportunities supported by a global community of allies, partners, and sponsors. The foundation's impact extends across all technology disciplines and welcomes members at every career stage, from educators shaping the next generation of tech talent to transitional professionals entering the industry. By fostering a supportive ecosystem rooted in community values, Blacks In Technology Virginia empowers Black technologists to achieve excellence and drive innovation across the technology sector.
