About PTA
California State PTA connects families, schools and communities. We are part of the foundation of our public-education system and a trusted messenger to millions of members, parents, families, educators and allied agencies throughout the state. PTA is the nation’s largest volunteer-led child-advocacy association working to drive improvements in the education, health and well-being of all children and families.
Join PTA to support your child’s education and the education of all of California’s children.
Your generous contribution to the California State PTA makes a difference in the education, health, and welfare of all children and youth.
