Jack and Jill of America, Inc. is a membership organization of mothers with children ages 2 – 19, dedicated to nurturing future African American leaders by strengthening children through leadership development, volunteer service, philanthropic giving and civic duty. More than 11,000 active members in 238 chapters implement annual program activities to strengthen local communities. For 55 years, the mothers of the Northern Virginia Chapter have served the Fairfax County and broader Northern Virginia community through partnerships to support education, eliminate hunger and provide uplift for families.

NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.

What started as a small group of families gathered around a kitchen table in 1979 has blossomed into the nation's leading voice on mental health. Today, we are an alliance of more than 600 local Affiliates and 48 State Organizations who work in your community to raise awareness and provide support and education that was not previously available to those in need.

The Cameron Dudley Book Scholarship fund was set up in memory of Cameron Dudley, a Westfield High School student, and NOVA Jack and Jill Teen who was tragically killed in an automobile accident during the summer while he was a student there. The need-based scholarships in the amount of $500 are awarded to promising minority university students to help cover the cost of books or fees for the recipients.  The Northern VA Chapter of Jack and Jill is proud to continually support this scholarship each year.
