Advocacy Resources

Parents often start down the road of advocacy by speaking for their own children at parent-teacher conferences or with the school principal. They then begin to recognize that the other children in the classroom or school have similar needs. Eventually, activities can build to the point where parents are advocating on the local, state, and national levels for all children.These resources from PTA should help you on your road to effective advocacy of children.
