Value of PTA Membership
With more than one million members, California State PTA is the largest volunteer organization in the state dedicated to improving the well being of all children and youth.
Joining PTA supports local, state and national efforts to improve the education of children and the lives of families. Membership provides the opportunity for individuals to raise their voices with others throughout the state 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.
Getting involved in PTA builds skills in leadership, communication and advocacy. Active members are a valuable community resource for starting and maintaining projects to benefit children.
PTA is a Membership Association
Any individual who chooses to support PTA can become a member by paying dues to a PTA. Membership at a unit includes membership in the council (if in council), the district level, California State PTA and National PTA. Membership is signified by an official membership card and expires on October 31 annually.
Each PTA is a separate association giving services to a specific group of children, but is a part of the California State PTA and National PTA. Members having children in more than one school may wish to join multiple PTAs to support the youth at each child’s school.
Membership Dues
Annual membership includes dues to the council (if in council), district, California State PTA and National PTA. The remaining portion stays in the unit. Our PTA Membership dues for this year is $10 per person or $16 per family of two people.
