Brother Martin junior Seth Brown recently participated in Jack and Jill of America, Inc.'s On the Hill Legislative Summit in Washington, D.C.
Seth Brown shares his experience of the summit:
"I have been a member of Jack and Jill of America Inc. since I was five years old, and it was through this program that I applied for the On The Hill Summit. While I was there I went to many seminars, one of which featured Vice President Kamala Harris. On the last day of the program, we went to the capital where we met with Troy Carter and his staff. Brother Martin prepared me for this experience by helping me to learn and understand American politics through American History classes."
From Jack and Jill of America website:
"Founded in 1938, Jack and Jill of America, Inc. is a national non-profit organization of mothers who are focused on a mission to develop youth into leaders through cultural, civic, and social experiences. Eighty-four years later, Jack and Jill continues its commitment to children and the community; at our core, we are an organization dedicated to the development of strong families. Headquartered in our nation’s capital, Jack and Jill of America, Inc. works at being a driving force in communities across the nation to enhance the quality of life for all children. Jack and Jill incorporates “service learning” as a means of providing the academic connection between the skills and knowledge taught in the classroom, and the leadership and service skills experienced and needed in the community. We believe our youth must be involved in the political process, including elections, legislative agenda, and other important civic duties, as they become global citizens in the marketplace of the future."
