How to Join: National Membership Application

PTA membership is available at over 23,000 PTAs throughout the country, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and in Department of Defense Dependent Schools in Europe and the Pacific. We also offer the opportunity to join National PTA directly. This membership will allow you to be a PTA member if there is no local PTA in your area, or if you want to support the work of National PTA without, or in addition to, local PTA involvement.
