Con su marido, Robert, Jones dirige Camden Sophisticated Sisters, un equipo de baile, tambores y ejercicios de pasos que se ha convertido en una salida para miles de ni\u00f1os de la ciudad. Fundada en 1986, Camden Sophisticated Sisters inculca disciplina y brinda una ventana de oportunidad hacia un futuro mejor. El grupo practica en la base de la torre de agua de Camden y se ha hecho notar con apariciones en desfiles locales y en Dancing with the Stars y Good Morning America. Jones espera encontrar espacio para que la organizaci\u00f3n contin\u00fae con su misi\u00f3n como refugio seguro. Desde su inicio, los 4.000 j\u00f3venes que participaron en el programa se graduaron de la escuela secundaria en una ciudad en la que la tasa de graduaci\u00f3n es inferior al 50 por ciento. Los logros de Jones no han pasado desapercibidos: CNN la honr\u00f3 con el premio H\u00e9roe del A\u00f1o.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">La misi\u00f3n del equipo de instrucci\u00f3n Camden Sophisticated Sisters es motivar, educar y empoderar a los j\u00f3venes a trav\u00e9s de la estructura y disciplina de un equipo de instrucci\u00f3n y las artes esc\u00e9nicas. <\/span><span style=\"color: #333333\">CSS es una salida positiva para los j\u00f3venes de Camden.
