Georgia PTA Congress

The Georgia PTA Congress is a part of the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA), acting as a state-level organization that connects and supports local PTAs across Georgia. The mission of the Georgia PTA aligns with that of the National PTA, aiming to engage and empower families and communities in advocating for all children.

Purpose

The Georgia PTA is dedicated to promoting the welfare of children and youth. Its purposes include:

• Advocacy for Children: The organization advocates for laws and policies beneficial to the education, health, welfare, and safety of children and youth.
• Community Engagement: It promotes collaboration and engagement among families and educators to enhance children's education and well-being.
• Public Involvement: The Georgia PTA works to engage the public in efforts to secure the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being of all children and youth[2].

Structure

The Georgia PTA serves as a link between the National PTA and local PTAs within the state, providing support through workshops, publications, and special projects. Local PTAs are linked to the state and national organizations, forming a network that influences decisions affecting children at local, state, and national levels[2][3].

Membership and Benefits

Membership in local PTAs automatically grants membership in the state and National PTAs. Members benefit from access to resources, leadership training, and opportunities to influence educational policies. The organization offers discounts and benefits through partnerships with various providers[3].
