Wisconsin PTA Focus Areas

Advocacy

We advocate for policies that put students first — partnering with other organizations and lobbying at the state and federal level for public education funding and support.

Family Engagement

We help local units bring families into their student's education — offering grants to fund family engagement programming in schools and communities, and connecting members to National PTA's research, toolkits, and podcast on family engagement (many resources, including the podcast, are available in Spanish).

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

We provide grants, resources, and practical tools — including our inclusivity guide for local units — to help every PTA reflect and welcome the full diversity of its community.

Education

We help families make sense of the laws and systems shaping their child's education — from ESSA to College & Career Readiness — and connect them to National PTA's Parents' Guides to Student Success.

Get involved at your Child's School

Have a PTA at your local school? Joining is easy! Just contact the school directly to get connected with your local unit.

If you're not sure if your school has a PTA, use the "Find My Local PTA" resources tool.

Support the Mission and Advocacy Work

A Wisconsin At Large Unit (WALU) membership is an excellent way to show your support for the Wisconsin PTA even if there is not a PTA in your community.

WALU membership is only $10.00 and joining is easy!
