Thomas founded Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated on January
24,1938 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Twenty mothers
came together to discuss creating an organization to provide social,
cultural and educational opportunities for youth, ages two through
nineteen.

Today, across
252 chapters, Jack and Jill of America, Inc. remains an organization of
mothers dedicated to raising
the next generation of African American leaders while enhancing the
lives of all children. Celebrating 45 years of service, the North Shore
Chapter is committed to accomplishing our mission through programs
focused on leadership development, cultural exposure,
community service, legislative advocacy and philanthropic giving.
