Wildflowers

About Our Chapter

NCL, Inc., Wildflowers 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 Klein ISD and Spring ISD area. Like all NCL, Inc. Chapters, Wildflowers aims to foster the mother-daughter relationship by serving its communities together.

The Wildflowers Chapter of NCL was organized in 1994 and became a fully chartered chapter in 1996. Members of the Wildflowers Chapter reside in the Klein or Spring Independent School Districts or attend a school in those attendance zones, located in Northwest Houston, TX. Currently our Chapter does not do fundraising in the community. Through chapter meetings, chapter activities and philanthropic service, we are continuing to build the impact our Chapter has on our communities through the NCL, Inc. Core Values.
