The Magnolias is one of four National Charity League, Inc. chapters in The Woodlands, Texas.  NCL members are mothers and daughters in grades seven through twelve who indicate an interest in and commitment to community service, leadership development and cultural experiences. NCL mother-daughter teams are responsible, dedicated, skilled volunteers actively engaged in local community work.

NCL was founded in 1947 in Los Angeles, California. The mothers are referred to as Patronesses and the daughters are called Ticktockers. The mothers and daughters work, either together or within their age group, in philanthropic and educational activities.

NCL is comprised of over 150 Chapters in 15 states nationwide. Our organization is the only mother-daughter volunteer force of its kind serving local communities together.
