Because Jack’s is unique, we get a lot of questions about how we do things and who can be involved. We decided to answer some of the questions people ask most often.
What is Jack’s mission?
Jack’s mission is “improving the way guys think feel and act through every phase of their caregiving journey”
Why are you focused on men when there are also women caregivers?
Most guys have grown up in a culture that taught them the “hero fixes it alone.” Unfortunately, this leads far too many of them into a trap of unsustainable isolation. This leads to problems for them and the loved ones that are depending on them. While we can’t solve all of the problems, we can make a difference by supporting these guys.
So, is Jack’s just for men?
We have a variety of programs to benefit caregivers and Sequel Makers (people living with loss). A lot of our programming is exclusively for men, but we also have some coed programming which women have access to including:
And of course, we have many women who volunteer with Jack's. They know if they ever needed a male caregiver, they would want him to have a community like ours to lean on. Imagine a world where guys felt highly equipped and proud of what they do as caregivers? That’s the impact we are striving for, and we need the help of women to get there!

Are trans-men welcome in Jack’s?
Anyone who identifies as a man can be a Jack. Health crises do not discriminate and neither do we. Jack’s Caregiver Coalition does not discriminate against any person in membership in the organization on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnicity, culture, language, disability, age, creed, religion, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, socioeconomic status, military status or other protected class status as provided by applicable law. In addition to providing a discrimination-free community, Jack’s Caregiver Coalition is committed to providing a positive and supportive environment for caregivers through programming and activities tailored to its members’ needs.
