Membership Resources

Washington State PTA is a grassroots membership organization that works to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.

Membership is open to anyone interested in the health, safety, and education of children regardless of school boundaries. Our goal is a membership that reflects the diversity of the children and families across our state.

Anyone who would like to become a part of the state’s oldest and largest child advocacy organization may do so by joining a local or community PTA.
