As a new generation of youth leaders steps onto the national stage, Jack and Jill affirms the power of youth advocacy in shaping a more just and equitable future.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack and Jill of America, Inc. today announced its tenth biennial On the Hill (OTH) Legislative Teen Summit, taking place Sept. 19โ22 in Washington. Under the theme "Amplifying Our Voices," nearly 800 teens, from across the country, will gather to engage in legislative advocacy, civic action, and leadership development.
"When our children step onto Capitol Hill, they do not come as visitorsโ they come as visionaries. Jack and Jill is proud to amplify their voices because we know that today's advocatesย areย tomorrow'sย lawmakers, judges, and presidents. Theyย areย notย theย leadersย of somedayโ they are leading now." National President Darlene Whittington.
Thisย year'sย summitย invites teensย to exploreย theirย voice, sharpenย theirย leadership,ย and step confidently into their role as changemakers. They'll take part in workshops, forums, and cultural events focused on civic engagement and community impact. Highlights include the State of the Black Family forum, the Teen Mogulsย JNJ Tank edition โ a showcase of youth entrepreneurship โ and the Legacy Amplified president's reception. The summit concludes with Jack and Jill Takes the Hill event, where participants will meet with their respective lawmakers to advocate for key issues.
As Jack and Jill of America Inc. prepares to welcome hundreds of young leaders to Washington, On the Hill 2025 stands as both a celebration and a call to action. It is a space where Black youth are liberated to speak truth, honor the legacy of those who came before them, and shape the future. These teens are not just amplifying their voices โ they are leading a movement rooted in purpose, resilience, and the unwavering pursuit of justice.
