Our Program

National Charity League, Inc. is a mother-daughter organization dedicated to serving the communities in which chapters are formed and to fostering the mother-daughter relationship. Our goal is to promote a sense of community responsibility in our daughters and strengthen the mother-daughter relationship.

The daughters, or Ticktockers, along with their mothers participate in a 6-year educational program of philanthropic work, leadership training, educational activities, and cultural events.
