Extending her commitment to youth empowerment and civic engagement, Jacki founded the Junior Civic Leadership Academy, a youth empowerment and civic education initiative operating under The Positively Pink Foundation, Inc. Through experiential learning and real-world exposure, the Academy prepares young people to become informed, confident, and engaged citizens.

Junior Civic Leadership Academy includes two flagship initiatives: Think Twice. Save a Life.™, a youth safety and decision-making initiative focused on prevention, situational awareness, and online safety; and My Civic Duty for a Day™, a hands-on civic shadowing experience that places students alongside mayors, councilmembers, sheriffs, police chiefs, and other civic leaders to demystify government and inspire service-driven leadership.

Jacki serves on multiple boards and advisory councils, including the SCLC Women – Advisory Council and the L.E.A.D. Center for Youth, and remains deeply rooted in Atlanta's civic and philanthropic ecosystem. Her work reflects a clear mission: to lead with purpose, protect communities, and cultivate the next generation of engaged leaders.
