Value of PTA Membership

As a PTA member, you are part of one of the oldest and largest associations dedicated to the education and well-being of all children and youth.  For over 100 years, PTA members at the local level have provided volunteer, advocacy and financial support to enhance the academic, social and physical environments of our schools.  In partnership with over 7 million other volunteers across America, PTA members represent a strong and respected voice in promoting programs that enrich the quality of life of our children, our families and our community.

The PTA Advantage

The PTA's nationwide network provides parents with the forum and tools to collectively influence the decisions that affect children not only at their schools, but also throughout their district, within their state and across the nation.  This mission is unique to the PTA.

Benefits of PTA Membership

PTA membership offers you the opportunity to:
  • Be connected.  Participate in your child's school activities and build relationships with your child's teacher and principal.  There is no better way to know what is happening at your school.
  • Be a role model.  By becoming a PTA member, you'll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.
  • Enjoy the benefits.  Individuals and local units can take advantage of a host of member perks from PTA membership including discounts and offers member benefit providers, leadership training and more more.
  • Discover great resources.  PTA offers a great variety of programs designed for parents and students.
  • Speak Up.  PTA gives you a "seat at the table" when important decisions are made at your child's school. 
  • Tap into a network.  PTA functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, building rapport and discussing issues that are on your mind.  You can share ideas, concerns and experiences.
  • Watch yourself grow.  By volunteering with your PTA, you put your skills and hoodies to use for a noble cause - your child and and all the children in the community.
  • Witness improvement.  By getting involved at your child's school you'll be part of the solution, helping make positive changes.  Local PTA's play an important role in fundraising for curriculum based programs and social events.
  • Make a difference.  PTA members have helped advance local, state and national laws and policies to improve the education, health and safety of our children.
