Welcome to the National Council of Negro Women North Bronx Section
President's Message
NCNW North Bronx Section
Welcome
Greetings, and thank you for visiting the website of the North Bronx Section of the National Council of Negro Women, Inc. I am Simone A. Jones, and it is my honor to serve as President of a section whose legacy of leadership, service, and sisterhood has strengthened our community since its founding on May 17, 1967, by the late Daisy George.
As we continue that legacy, I believe our responsibility is not only to honor the women who came before us, but also to build intentionally for those who will come after us. Our work is grounded in the values of commitment, unity, service, empowerment, and collective responsibility to the communities we serve.
The strength of the North Bronx Section is rooted in the collective commitment of our members, committees, community partners, and supporters. Guided by our Section’s pillars and aligned with NCNW’s core priorities, our work advances education, health equity, economic empowerment, and social justice.​​
Through education, we seek to inspire lifelong learning, mentorship, and expanded access to S.T.E.A.M. opportunities.
Through health equity, we promote physical and mental wellness and greater access to the information, services, and resources our families need. Through economic empowerment, we support financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and pathways toward long-term economic stability. Through social justice, we encourage advocacy, civic engagement, and collective action around the issues impacting our communities.
​
These priorities come to life through the programs we create, the partnerships we build, and our continued commitment to responding to the needs of women, children, families, and communities throughout the North Bronx. Through collaboration and service, we strive to turn our mission into meaningful, visible, and lasting impact.
Whether you are a longtime member, considering joining our sisterhood, looking to partner with us, or simply learning more about our work, I invite you to stay connected and become part of what we are building together.
Honoring the legacy. Strengthening the sisterhood. Serving the community. Building what comes next.
In Sisterhood and Service,
​
Simone A. Jones
President
