Tulsa Midtown

About Our Chapter

NCL, Inc., Tulsa Midtown 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 Tulsa Midtown area, defined as 15th Street to 71st Street and Riverside Drive to Sheridan Road. Like all NCL, Inc. Chapters, Tulsa Midtown aims to foster the mother-daughter relationship by serving its communities together.

The seeds for what would blossom into Tulsa Midtown Chapter were sown in the Fall of 2011 when a group of mothers began to research meaningful ways to engage their daughters in serving others.

They learned of the mission of National Charity League, unknown in Oklahoma at that time, and began to explore the possibility of starting a local chapter.  By spring of 2012, they had established a Board of Directors and moved forward to chapter formation in January 2013.

More than 100 women attended the introductory meeting, excited about the opportunity to enrich their community through service alongside their daughters.

Tulsa Midtown Chapter is now a vibrant group of more than 300  members with a wide array 
of interests and backgrounds.  We share a common interest in furthering 
the NCL misson to:

  • strengthen the mother-daughter bond
  • encourage community service and social awareness
  • enhance leadership skills
