Today, the issues that affect our children extend beyond their individual schools. 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 districts, within their states, and across the nation. This mission is unique to PTA.

Every PTA member is an advocate for children. We are engaged in advocacy every time we support and speak up for children.

PTA advocacy changes lives. PTA has a long, successful history of influencing policy to promote children’s education, health and well-being—resulting in child labor laws, school lunch programs, and much more.

We need your voice! Working together, we can continue to make a difference for all children.
