Jack and Jill of America, Inc. has a number of activities that are celebrated nationally through chapter participation
Carole Robertson Day 2025
Carole Robertson Day
Carole Robertson was a member of Jack and Jill of America Birmingham teen chapter. On September 15, 1963, she was killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. To honor her memory and her dedication to Jack and Jill, chapters nationally gather in September as family. We teach our children about the life of Carole Robertson, how our community fought together for Civil Rights, and to find light in everything they do.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service
Jack and Jill of America, Inc. nationally participates in community service on Martin Luther King Jr. Day to honor Dr. King’s legacy of equality, kindness, and service to others. Dr. King believed that everyone has a responsibility to help their community and work toward a more just society. By marching with our local community and volunteering, we put those values into action and help make a positive difference in the lives of others.
MLK Jr. Day of Service 2026
Founder's Day 2025
Founder's Day
Members of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. participate in Founders' Day to honor Marion Stubbs Thomas and the 20 visionary Black mothers who established the organization on January 24, 1938, in Philadelphia, overcoming segregation and the Great Depression to build a lasting legacy of leadership, community, and opportunity for children. Members also use Founder's Day to reaffirm our commitment to nurture our children, foster sisterhood, and promote civic engagement.

Southwest Children's Cluster
Annually, Jack and Jill children ages 2 - 12 gather to learn and socialize from different chapters.
