National Charity League is a nonprofit organization comprising mothers and daughters who volunteer for community service projects over six years, beginning when the daughters are in seventh grade. Founded in 2009, the Orchard Valley Chapter has grown to nearly 300 members. Members support more than 20 local philanthropies, devoting approximately 5,000 volunteer hours in the past year.
