This framework is based on the following concepts: Strengthening the mother-daughter bond; Empowering women with the skills and confidence to mentor and lead; Inspiring a legacy of social awareness and compassion; Providing depth of support in local communities; Honoring a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion; and Modeling integrity, graciousness, and excellence.

The NCL experience inspires and empowers women to succeed as confident, well-rounded and socially aware contributors to society.
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
