Exploring Necia’s Impact: Nonprofit Leadership Journey
Leadership for me has never been about titles — it’s about impact, growth, and service. Over the years, I’ve learned that true leadership requires not just passion, but persistence — and that every role, whether volunteer or visionary, has helped shape the leader I am today.
Jones Community Development Foundation (JCDF)
As the Founder and Executive Director of Jones Community Development Foundation, I’m leading a mission centered on second chances and community restoration. Our upcoming Jones Second Chance Housing program in Elkton, Maryland will provide structured, affordable shared housing for men, veterans, and adults in transition, helping them rebuild stability and independence. JCDF also fosters partnerships, coordinates community initiatives, and promotes sustainable change through outreach, education, and opportunity.
Metropolitan Wilmington Urban League Young Professionals (MWULYP)
I proudly served as Secretary of the Metropolitan Wilmington Urban League Young Professionals, contributing to governance, community outreach, and event coordination that empowered emerging leaders across Delaware. This experience strengthened my ability to balance structure with creativity and deepened my commitment to equity, representation, and progress for the next generation of change-makers.
Pay It Forward Networking Group
As the visionary President, Founder, and CEO of Pay It Forward Networking Group, I’ve built a community where women of color can thrive in every aspect of life. Through workshops, events, and open dialogue, we address topics like mental health, financial literacy, work-life balance, and business development. The goal has always been to create a safe, empowering space where women uplift one another and grow collectively — because when we pay it forward, we all rise.
PALW Board Secretary & Fundraising Chair
During my tenure as Board Secretary and Fundraising Chair for the Police Athletic League of Wilmington, I worked to strengthen community engagement and drive fundraising efforts that advanced PALW’s mission to uplift local youth and families. My time there reinforced my belief that empowerment begins with connection — and that every initiative, no matter how small, contributes to long-term community growth.
Toastmasters International – JPMC Wilmington Chapter
As a former President of the JPMC Wilmington Toastmasters Club — and now a dedicated active member — I’ve cultivated essential skills in communication, leadership, and personal development. Previously serving as Vice President of Education and Secretary, I learned the power of voice, confidence, and clarity. These experiences continue to shape how I lead, mentor, and inspire across every platform and organization I touch.
A Legacy of Leadership
From grassroots service to executive leadership, my journey has been guided by one principle:
“impact over intention.“
Every experience — whether building community programs, empowering women, or creating pathways to housing — has been rooted in purpose and legacy.
My mission remains clear: to lead with faith, serve with excellence, and build with intention — one program, one partnership, and one person at a time.
