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.
The Round Rock Chapter, formed in 2015, is proud to be the 205th chapter formed in the United States and is the first in Round Rock!  Bethany Leffingwell, founding president of NCL, Inc., Round Rock Chapter rallied a team of engaged and dedicated women to help bring National Charity League, Inc. to the Round Rock community.  The Round Rock Chapter was chartered by National Charity League, Inc. in the Spring of 2017.  Currently, our chapter has approximately 284 members that support more than 18 philanthropies in and around the Williamson County area. Some of the community service areas supported by our chapter include: disadvantaged children’s services, educational organizations, food and clothing pantries, healthcare, children and adults with special needs, elderly, environmental preservation and animal protection organizations.
