Programming
Chapter Programming is the “heart” of the organization. It is the way that we “create a medium of contact for children that stimulates growth and development.” The Chapters’ 2018-2020 programming requires that at least one activity (in each grade group) be accomplished centered on the National Program Thrusts under EDUCATION, CULTURAL, CIVIC, SOCIAL/RECREATIONAL, and HEALTH.
EDUCATION
Education is the foundation of leadership. We aim to provide educational opportunities to ALL children. Our reading corner is one way we help the children in our community achieve a better tomorrow.
CULTURAL
Loving our history and exploring where we came from is a critical part of building a solid future. Group 1's visit to the history museum started their journey of discovery.
CIVIC
Understanding that it's our responsibility to advocate change is a focus for every age group. Group 2 learned about the importance of being a part of the election process as a way of driving change with their mock election activity.
SOCIAL / RECREATIONAL
The chapter came together to support the opening of the award winning Black Panther: Wakanda Forever movie. Viewing the first Marvel Studio film with a black director and a predominantly black cast together with our families was culturally significant and an opportunity for the Jacks and Jills to witness this representation.
HEALTH
The Moms of the Las Vegas Chapter of Jack and Jill of America Inc. are always pleased to volunteer in the community to share information around healthy lifestyles. Participating in the G. Alex Foundation health fair was an honor.
