Delaware PTA

The authority for Delaware PTA's legislative activity is the third Object of the PTA: "To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth."

Delaware PTA engages in legislative activity to the extent permitted by Section 501(c)(3)(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. Acting within this limitation, Delaware PTA, through its legislative program, makes its legislative voice effectively heard with respect to proposed and enacted laws and regulations that pertain to the health, education, and welfare of the children and youth of Delaware. The Delaware PTA legislative program is based on legislative priorities approved by delegates to its annual convention.

Advocacy

What you do to improve laws, policies, and conditions on behalf of children is advocacy, whether in your community or at the state and federal levels. PTA defines advocacy as the act of mobilizing individuals and local PTAs to work with the state and National PTA to spark changes in programs and policies that benefit children.

Please contact the Delaware PTA to request advocacy training in your area.
