Do you believe in kids? Then you should become a PTA/PTSA member! PTA membership is our voice and vote. It is not about volunteering or attending meetings. PTA is the oldest child advocacy organization in existence that gives all parents a voice in their children’s education. PTA continues to be relevant as it advocates for ALL children and provides opportunities to make a difference in the life of kids. Membership is the heart of PTA and we all make a difference, so consider becoming a member today. Need ideas for your ongoing membership campaign or help redesigning your membership form? We are happy to help!
