Join a PTA - PTA Your Way to support every child, with one voice and work towards making every child’s potential a reality! Keep your seat at the table and have your voice heard today! A PTA (or PTSA) unit is a local, self-governing membership association whose main purpose is to serve the needs and desires of its members in promoting the health, welfare, safety and education of children and youth. By affiliating with Montana PTA, a parent group shows it cares about the future of ALL Montana schools and students. Through their association with Montana PTA, an individual PTA enjoys immediate representation statewide and nationally. From the beginning, the work is no longer about just your school’s immediate needs but all of Montana’s schools’ needs. Did you know that when you join a PTA, you immediately become a member of both Montana PTA and National PTA as well as your local PTA unit? PTA members can attend conventions, workshops and leadership training opportunities. Structure is important, as each unit has standing rules, local unit uniform bylaws, elected officers and committees. Experienced PTA leaders who volunteer at the region, state and National PTA levels provide support, encouragement, advice, programs, educational materials, publications, conferences, workshops and leadership training. PTA members are advocates for the well-being of children and youth, and PTA unit activities should always maintain this focus. PTA speaks for every child with one voice!

National PTA Membership Campaign PTA For Your Child with Our All New Membership CampaignToday, PTA’s role is more important than ever in connecting parents, teachers and administrators, and supporting critical school needs. We want every family in our schools to join PTA, because we can do more together than apart. Our new membership campaign--PTA For Your Child—is designed to engage and excite new members and existing members by making the work of the PTA more visible and highlighting the value and impact of PTA. To bolster your membership recruitment activities, we have developed a suite of materials, including a campaign toolkit that outlines how to effectively communicate the value of PTA membership, a suite of dynamic visuals and collateral materials, and a campaign rollout checklist.
