NCL, Inc., Round Rock 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 Round Rock area. Like all NCL, Inc. Chapters, Round Rock aims to foster the mother-daughter relationship by serving its communities together.
Our chapter has received the Blue Rose Chapter Award for the 2020-2021 year in recognition of our service and commitment! We completed our annual requirements, participated in #GivingTuesday and the national philanthropy program and held a Sustainer Event. Congratulations!
THE NCL EXPERIENCE
NCL, Inc. provides opportunities for mothers, known as “Patronesses,” and daughters, known as “Ticktockers,” to cultivate both mother-daughter and peer relationships through service to others.
THE TICKTOCKER EXPERIENCE
The Ticktocker experience is a small group leadership program that allows each young woman to know the joy of helping others, to learn tolerance and kindness, to build confidence and maturity, and to make friends while sharing and participating in service activities.
THE PATRONESS EXPERIENCE
The Patroness experience allows mothers to work alongside their daughters as they broaden their perspective on the world around them. Patronesses also have the satisfaction of working with other talented women to advance the mission of our Round Rock Chapter.
Our Round Rock Chapter of NCL, Inc. is a nonprofit corporation with the mission to foster mother-daughter relationships in a philanthropic organization committed to the following three pillars:
- Community Service: Assessing what philanthropic needs exist in our community and helping to meet those needs whenever possible.
- Leadership: Enhancing potential leadership skills through team building, problem solving, mentoring, and group dynamics.
- Cultural: Creating an environment that nurtures a positive identity by recognizing and appreciating the value of differences in each other and the world.
