About Delaware PTA
The Delaware Congress of Parents and Teachers, also known as the Delaware State PTA, is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization made up of volunteers dedicated to improving the lives of Delaware’s children. With more than 5000 members, the Delaware State PTA is Delaware’s largest and oldest child advocacy organization. We are a state charter of the National PTA, made up of local units throughout the State of Delaware.
Established in 1911, Delaware PTA has more than 100 years of service and excellence. Delaware State PTA prides itself on being a powerful voice for children, a relevant resource for parents, and a strong advocate for public education. We are proud of our legacy and all of the Delaware State PTA Past Presidents that have contributed to our ongoing success.
Who Can Join?
Membership in the Delaware State PTA is open to anyone who is concerned with the education, health, and welfare of children and youth, and supports the mission of PTA. PTA is committed to being inclusive in its efforts to represent and assist all who nurture and educate children and who seek to promote collaboration among families, schools, and the community at large. You can join the PTA through your local school or you can join at the state level as a VIP Member. Every person who joins a local school PTA automatically becomes a member of Delaware PTA and National PTA.
Want to Start a PTA at Your School?
As a member of the PTA, your school’s volunteers will have a strong support system and network of resources to benefit the families and students at your school while also retaining autonomy to decide how best to support the unique needs and interests of your local school community. All PTAs are noncommercial, nonsectarian, nonpartisan and organized exclusively for charitable, scientific, literary or educational purposes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service code. The PTA provides access to programs, event toolkits, and grants that your volunteers can use to help build school spirit, create new traditions and celebrate student accomplishments to get families and communities excited about learning together. Best practices and governance from a nation-wide support network ensures compliance with non-profit law and personalized support when your community encounters a problem. Contact us to get started!
