About Our Chapter

NCL, Inc., Silver Star 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 area south of Forest Lane, east of Marsh Lane/Lemmon Avenue, west of Highway 75 and north of the southern border of Highland Park. Like all NCL, Inc. Chapters, Silver Star aims to foster the mother-daughter relationship by serving its communities together.

The Silver Star chapter aims to foster the mother-daughter relationship by serving its communities together. Our more than 240 members represent eighteen public and private schools and served almost 4,000 hours last year. With an estimated national value of a volunteer hour at $36.14, we made an annual philanthropic impact of over $144,000 in our Dallas community. Together, we make a difference! What truly makes Silver Star special isn’t just what we do—it’s how we do it: with welcoming hearts, fun and meaningful connections, and a genuine commitment to supporting one another as we serve our community. Yay! Join us as we Celebrate 10 years of Community, Connection and Caring this year!
