About Our Chapter

NCL, Inc., Murrieta-Temecula 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 or attend school in the Temecula or the Murrieta areas. Like all NCL, Inc. Chapters, Murrieta-Temecula aims to foster the mother-daughter relationship by serving its communities together.

As a relatively new Chapter of National Charity League, Inc., we are excited about our mission and activities and actively growing our Chapter’s membership, partnered philanthropies and impact on those we serve.

We established in 2016, by our founders Dina Gomez and Jenni Holland, with nearly 100 mothers and daughters  and currently have over 180 members, we are establishing roots in our community, looking inward to cultivate the mother-daughter relationship and outward to improve the lives of people in our local communities.

Murrieta-Temecula Chapter   serves local non-profits in the greater Inland Valley and are always looking for new opportunities to make a change in our community. We are continuing to grow and accept membership for mothers and daughters who reside or attend school in the cities of Murrieta or Temecula and  surrounding areas.

By subscribing to the NCL, Inc. Mission, we believe that the NCL Experience — comprised of the Three Pillars of Community Service, Leadership Development and Cultural Enrichment — inspire and empower women to succeed as confident, well-rounded and socially aware contributors in their communities.
