Reasons YOU Belong

Reasons YOU Belong

Let's Grow Our PTA Family

Do you know the number one reason why people say that they haven’t yet joined PTA?

They were never ASKED to join!

You know the good work that your PTA does for your community every day—but talking about your accomplishments and inviting others to join you can be hard. That’s why we created our Membership Campaign, PTA for Your Child. But, if you’ve explored the Membership Campaign toolkit and are looking for even more ways to talk about PTA, we’ve got your back.

Start a Conversation with Anyone

The resources, tools and templates on this page are designed to help you quickly and easily start a conversation with anyone—students, families, teachers, administrators, business and community leaders, whoever— about why they, specifically, should join your PTA or PTSA!

When planning your membership recruitment efforts, keep this slogan in mind:

PTA believes that together we can make every child’s potential a reality—but we need more believers like YOU. We need YOU. Will you join us?
