President's Welcome
Welcome to all who are visiting our website, my name is Dr. Cherise Moore and I am proud to be the 8th Chapter President of the Spectacular and Amazing Santa Clarita Antelope Valley Chapter of Jack and Jill of America Inc.
When the Santa Clarita Antelope Valley Chapter was chartered in 2008, we became a part of a phenomenal national non-profit organization that has existed since 1938. Jack and Jill of America, Inc. has a rich history and the mission to nurture future African American leaders. With over 80 years of service, Jack and Jill now represents more than 50,000 family members and 270 chapters nationwide. I am proud to be a part of an organization that continues to remain relevant and makes a difference now more than ever.
