The Jamaican American Association of Central Florida, Inc. (JAACF) was founded in November 1985. Originally known as the West Indian Civic Association and later the Jamaican American Society of Central Florida, the organization officially became JAACF in 1986 under the leadership of founding members Mrs. Marjorie Brown, Mr. Desmond Brown, and other dedicated visionaries. Established to build a strong and vibrant Jamaican American community in Central Florida, JAACF has focused on celebrating Jamaican culture while addressing the social, educational, and economic needs of its members. Through the leadership of past and present presidents and vice presidents, the association has successfully hosted cultural events, educational programs, and community service initiatives that positively impact both the Jamaican American community and the wider Central Florida region. Today, JAACF continues to thrive, remaining committed to unity, empowerment, and cultural pride while fostering meaningful community engagement.
