The NCL Experience: Crystal Springs Chapter

The Crystal Springs Chapter was formed in 2005 and chartered in 2007. The goal of the Crystal Springs Chapter is to inspire and empower women to succeed as confident, well rounded, and socially aware contributors in their communities. The daughters, also known as "Ticktockers" (TT's), along with their mothers (Patronesses) participate in a Six-Year Plan with an educational program of philanthropic work, leadership training, educational activities and cultural events.

Philanthropic Work

Philanthropy is the heart of our organization. Each National Charity League, Inc. Chapter considers the local community's needs and determines the philanthropies to support. Mothers and daughters earn philanthropy hours by working together in our chapter's community-based philanthropic organizations.
