Value of the PTA Membership
*** Annual VIP Membership for the Delaware PTA is only $10 per person per year!
With more than 10,000 members, Delaware PTA is one of the largest volunteer organization in the state dedicated to improving the well being of all children and youth.
Joining PTA supports local, state and national efforts to improve the education of children and the lives of families. Membership provides the opportunity for individuals to raise their voices with others throughout the state and nation to protect children’s rights. Membership ensures that PTA’s voice is heard on issues affecting young people as well as providing opportunities for parent education, communication and leadership development.
Getting involved in PTA builds skills in leadership, communication and advocacy. Active members are a valuable community resource for starting and maintaining projects to benefit children.
The PTA is a Membership Association. Any individual who chooses to support PTA can become a member by paying dues to a PTA or PTSA. Membership at a unit includes membership in the council (if in council), the district level, Delaware PTA and National PTA. Membership is signified by an official membership card and expires on June 30 annually. Each PTA is a separate association giving services to a specific group of children, but is a part of the Delaware PTA and National PTA. Members having children in more than one school may wish to join multiple PTAs to support the youth at each child’s school
Membership Dues
Annual membership includes dues to the council (if in council), district, Delaware PTA and National PTA. The remaining portion stays in the unit. Dues may differ at each PTA and are listed in the local unit PTA’s bylaws. PTA dues support the work of the PTA at unit, council, district, state and national level.
