needs of children and youth in the community. Each PTA has its own characteristics, but its underlying purpose of
promoting the welfare of children and youth unites all PTA’s and gives continuity and nationwide significance to
their work.
Purposes of the PTA
- To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, community, and place of worship.
- To raise the standards of home life.
- To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth.
- To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently
in the education of children and youth. - To develop between educators and the general public such unified efforts as will secure for all children and
youth the highest advantages in physical, mental, social and spiritual education.
PTA Mission Statement
- The mission of the California State PTA is to represent our members and to empower and support them with
skills in advocacy, leadership, and communication to positively impact the lives of all children. Adopted by the
California State PTA Board of Managers, March 1999. Reaffirmed, March 2004.
California State PTA Core Values
- The California State PTA is a professional, non-profit volunteer organization committed to the well-being of all
children. We believe every adult has a responsibility to ensure that all children develop to their full potential.
We believe parents are children’s first teachers and that parent involvement is essential throughout a child’s
educational experience. We believe that family is the basic unit of society responsible for the support and
nurturing of all children, and we recognize that “the family” may be defined in many ways. We believe our
responsibility includes advocating for the safety and welfare of all children and the opportunity for a quality
public education for each child.
