Founded in 2003 by a group of trailblazing mothers in Woodbridge, VA, the Manassas-Woodbridge Chapter of Jack and Jill of America Inc. represents a powerful commitment to community investment and family empowerment. These founding mothers came together with a shared vision: to ensure their children could fully embrace the mission and values of Jack and Jill of America within their own lives and community. What began as concerned mothers discussing how to move their children forward evolved into an officially chartered chapter, established at the National Headquarters Building in Washington, D.C. on January 24, 2004. The chapter's foundation reflects deep understanding of the Prince William County landscape, including the challenges presented by changing demographics and high rates of transitional families. Rather than being deterred by these complexities, the founding members demonstrated forward progress and unwavering determination. Today, Jack and Jill of America Inc., Manassas-Woodbridge Chapter continues this legacy by serving as a membership organization of mothers dedicated to strengthening African American children ages 2 through 19. The organization's approach integrates leadership development, volunteer service, philanthropic giving, and civic duty into meaningful experiences that shape future leaders. By fostering these values within the Woodbridge area, the chapter creates lasting connections and opportunities for families seeking community, support, and shared commitment to their children's growth and success.
