Background

Since its organization in 1897, NYS PTA has long been recognized as a powerful force working for children. Did you know that when you join the PTA, you immediately become a member of both the state and national associations as well as your local unit? It is through membership in the New York State and National PTAs that you, your unit, and, most importantly, your children will benefit.  You will add your voice to over 305,000 members in New York State.

There are several ways to become a member of PTA.  Click on the Frequently Asked Question “How can I become a member of PTA?”  on the right for more information.

Unit and region membership chairmen can click on the Members Only section to get ideas and information to run a successful membership drive.

Benefits

New York State PTA and National PTA offer a variety of benefits to its members including discounts off of airport parking, car rentals, office supplies, electronics and cell service.  More details can be found by clicking on Members Only above.
