WHY JOIN?
Getting involved in PTA builds skills in leadership, communication and advocacy. Active members are a valuable resource for starting and maintaining projects to benefit children in their schools and in the community.

Membership provides the opportunity for individuals to raise their voices with others in each school, throughout California and nation to protect children’s rights. Membership ensures that PTA’s voice is heard on issues affecting young people as well as providing opportunities for parent education, communication and leadership development.
