PTA’s Rich Tradition of Advocacy
National PTA was founded by advocates and has a strong history of impacting education policy and advocating for children. Advocacy is required to achieve success for all children. Universal kindergarten, child labor laws, hot lunches, immunizations, and standards for family engagement are just a few of the issues that PTA advocates have supported.
How Can I Become More Involved as an Advocate for My Child and My School?
Every PTA member can be an effective advocate. The process is always the same: identify, research, and understand the issue; identify, research, and understand the decision-maker; and develop and communicate the message. The process is not always easy, and dedication and perseverance are usually required. Sometimes success is achieved quickly, sometimes slowly.

Note: In order to maintain a nonprofit status under federal rules, Georgia PTA (and all local units under its umbrella) is nonpartisan and works to direct its efforts at members of both political parties in order to enact change. When PTA officers or lobbyists participate in legislative activities that educate lawmakers about officially adopted PTA positions, or support a particular piece of legislation that is in agreement with the PTA Legislative Program, it is done on a strictly nonpartisan basis.
