Virginia Congress of Parents & Teachers

The Virginia Congress of Parents & Teachers (Virginia PTA) is the largest and oldest non-partisan volunteer child advocacy association in Virginia, boasting over 175,000 members across more than 950 schools. Founded in 1904 and chartered by the National PTA in 1921, its primary mission is to strengthen schools and communities through active parent and family involvement while advocating for resources and funding to ensure the academic success and well-being of all children in the Commonwealth. Virginia PTA empowers local school parent groups by providing leadership training, family engagement toolkits, and advocacy resources, all managed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors. Its inclusive membership welcomes anyone who supports its mission, allowing local PTAs to maintain autonomy while benefiting from a robust support network dedicated to enhancing family-school partnerships.
