About Our Chapter

NCL, Inc., Carmel Chapter is a group of mothers and daughters who have come together in a commitment to community service, leadership development and cultural experiences.
Members shall reside in the attendance zone for Carmel ISD Like all NCL, Inc. Chapters, Carmel aims to foster the mother-daughter relationship by serving its communities together.

People often ask, “What is NCL?”. It’s hard to describe because NCL has so many layers and provides many unique paths to walk. To me, it’s a six-year journey we walk through with our daughters during the most impressionable time in their lives. In NCL, both mothers and daughters are provided the time to make new friends, develop leadership skills, and give back to the community in meaningful ways. If we embrace all that NCL offers, our daughters will enter adulthood with the life skills needed to take on the world and serve the community with a gracious spirit. It’s a phenomenal organization, and I am beyond grateful to be a part of it! ~Jaime Medley, Past President, NCL Carmel Chapter

We are the 262nd NCL, Inc. Chapter to form in the United States.

NCL Carmel Chapter held their Formation Meeting in Spring of 2019 and achieved “Chartered” status in May 2020.

Recently, our chapter received the Centennial Celebration Philanthropy Impact Badge for completing a broad range of philanthropic activities throughout the year to make a difference in our community. We are proud to receive this recognition as National Charity League prepares to celebrate our Centennial anniversary! 

Our chapter was so honored to receive the NCL Circle of Excellence Award for the 2022-2023 year. We completed all compliance requirements, demonstrated healthy leadership and strong membership satisfaction, and incorporated diverse connections.
