PTA is the oldest and largest volunteer child advocacy association in the United States. Founded in 1897, PTA has a long, successful history of influencing federal policy to promote the education, health, and well-being of all children — resulting in kindergarten classes, child labor laws, school lunch programs, a juvenile justice system, and strengthened parent-teacher relationships. PTA continues that legacy today by fighting for change under its federal public policy priorities. 

Florida PTA is the largest statewide volunteer association working exclusively on behalf of children and youth. Founded in 1923 as a branch of the 4 million member National PTA, Florida PTA is made up of approximately 1,450 local units with more than 300,000 Florida members seeking to unite home, school and community for all children. 

The Miami-Dade County Council (MDCC) PTA/PTSA was organized under the authority of the Florida PTA in 1923. The goal is to keep parents informed about state and local proposed legislation and current policy relative to the education, safety, and well-being of Florida’s children. In the context of PTA, advocacy is supporting and speaking up for children – in schools, in communities, and before government bodies and other organizations that make decisions affecting children. One way our PTA members can advocate for our children is to reach out to legislators and help influence policy.


Sign up to be part of the 'MDCC PTA/PTSA  Action Network' and respond to action alerts to reach your legislators on important issues and legislation. Simply click on the link below to access advocacy resources, including how to join their network.

Another important advocacy tool is Voting*. Voting is a foundation and sign of strong communities. It takes an active and engaged community to ensure broad representation and public officials responsive to community concerns. If you are not yet registered to vote please visit the Nonprofit VOTE website by clicking below.


*As a 501(c)(3) organization, PTA’s must follow special rules regarding ballot measures and candidates for public office. PTA’s may not endorse candidates for public office, contribute to their campaigns, rate them according to their votes on key issues, or allow unequal access to PTA facilities or events.
