NYS PTABackground
Since its organization in 1897, NYS PTA has long been recognized as a powerful force working for children. Did you know that when you join the PTA, you immediately become a member of both the state and national associations as well as your local unit? It is through membership in the New York State and National PTAs that you, your unit, and, most importantly, your children will benefit. You will add your voice to nearly 300,000 members in New York State.
