Mrs. Crystal Pendleton Shahid
25th Chapter President

On behalf of the Classy and Committed Columbus, Georgia Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. (affectionately known as “COLGA”), I warmly welcome you to our website.

Jack and Jill of America, Inc. is a premier African American organization dedicated to nurturing future African American leaders by strengthening children through leadership development, volunteer service, philanthropic giving, and civic duty. We create programming that enhances the lives of children ages 2 through 19 in the areas of cultural awareness, education, health, and social responsibility.

For more than 55 years, the dedicated Mothers of our chapter have worked diligently to deliver impactful and engaging experiences that empower our children and uplift our community. As the proud home of the 27th National President, Kornisha McGill Brown, we are rooted in "COLGA EXCELLENCE"—a standard of distinction that drives our every effort and achievement.

Guided by the belief that we must Empower Today, Elevate Tomorrow, our chapter remains unwavering in its mission to build strong children, strong families, and strong communities. We invite you to explore our work, connect with our mission, and join us in being a force of change.

Lifting & Empowering ALL Children,
